A few years back, I listened to some audio books, directed towards enlightenment. Though I didn’t agree 100% with the authors’ views on everything, they did put into words clearly, how they felt love and life work, in a fashion that, for the most part, didn’t contradict my own outlooks and experiences.
Armed with a clearer understanding of the most probable mechanics of love and life, and realizing a few new truths about them, on my own, I contemplated, with excitement, several ways to relay these insights to others, in an acceptable, enjoyable, and easily understood method.
My poetry has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. It seemed a natural progression to write limericks that reflect my own thoughts and theories about love, life and truth in general.
I find enlightenment is exciting and joyful. When an epiphany is realized about truth, I feel it should be shared and a considerable part of this book is aimed at doing just that, in a manner that won’t be conceived as forcing my ideas on others.
Not all of my poems are of a serious nature. Some are purely humor inspired, but most have a potential to generate a moment of joy, or at least a little smile.
It is my sincere hope that you find this collection enjoyable reading, while sensing the different values I’ve attempted to portray in my poems and limericks.
Enjoy!view less
