Diamonds From The Void

By Robin Xavier Fontaine

These seventeen carefully chosen poems are divided into three chapters. By turns sweet, sexy, pointed and provocative, I strive at all times to be both entertaining and tasteful.
The major threads (that I can see) are romantic love, ill-fated and wise choices, finding a voice in the world, nature, birds, and the cosmos.

Degrees of choice, degrees of fate;
Find your voice before it's too late.

Inspired in so many ways by my best friend John, whose influence on me over many years gave me the idea for the title, I pick up his torch, cast its light about my own life, and pass it on to the reader.

Robin Xavier Fontaine

I was born and raised near Montreal, Quebec, midway through the baby-boom, the second of three daughters. (How I got the middle name Xavier is a story in itself.)I started out with a disability, and eventually became a differently-abled person. I have learned in my life that with the three H's, Hope, Humor, and Humility, life offers more than enough rewards.The branches of a tree grow upward and outward, yet in life, our branches can all come back together again in a great knot, and a new tree begins growing upwards - awkward picture, isn't it? Recently I have found tranquility, love, and inspiration, and so it's as though life is beginning all over again. I hope to share my optimistic disposition with my readers; to know your limits, yet hope and strive for your dreams, is what brings out our truest humanity.I now share a Twitter account with my old ex, Robert E Vonne - check out our tweets. @robinrobin55Peace and cheers!
