introduced to the works of Edgar Allan Poe, William Shakespeare, and
Edna St. Vincent Millay, his three favorite poets today, forty years later.
In between then and ten years ago, a span of thirty years, he saw a great
decline in the area of rhyming poetry. No one rhymed anymore. Today, the
beautiful art of rhyme is practically non-existent. Some established poets still
rhyme, but you rarely see the works in print.
Twelve years ago, Morales attended his fi rst convention, and he was hooked
forever on poetry. Although the poems presented were free verse, he listened
carefully as he heard many of the poets attending, year after year, express
concerns in regards to rhyming poetry. The public clamored for rhyming
poetry, but the established poets were not forthcoming. This presented a
great opportunity for change, and there was hope for the return of rhyming
poetry. And so, a few years ago, Morales published his fi rst book, A Reason
For Rhyme, and later published, The Suicide Sonnets.
In his third book of poetry, presented here, Count Edweird Lefang’s Rhymin’
Halloween, Morales combines the art of rhyme, utilizing the numerous rhyming
forms used by famous poets of the past and present, with humorous and
serious fl air that teachers and students as well as the public can all enjoy.view less
