From the Humble Pen of a Poet

By Wally Edmond

To interpret poetry is then to lose the entity of poetry itself. A simple poem that may find one reader simply laughing at its rhyme, just might yet lead another to be found simply wondering what the true intention of that verse was.
Simply put It just might not have one in the first place!
A rhyme and reason? Well, this book of poetry is literally 'jam-packed' full of them both.
So get ready to sit back comfortably in your favorite chair, treat yourself to a nice hot cup of coffee or tea, and before long you will soon begin to find out the reason why you're taking your valuable time to read this collection of verses.

There are a wide variety of tasteful poems throughout this book, but in a sense they were designed to enlighten the reader's taste buds, in the desire that they will truly savor the heartfelt intention that this book of poetry was written for.

Wally Edmond's prolific style of poetry had been featured for over twenty years through the late Bob Stalder's poetry column "Poet's Pen," which was published in the Beatrice Daily Sun, a Nebraskan newspaper.
He and his family live in the rural town of Wymore Nebraska, where he enjoys writing his featured column "Artistically Arbor" for the Wymore Arbor State, a local weekly newspaper. The column is mixed with Wally's, poetry, quotations, and short stories.

About the Author

This book of verse is dedicated in memory of Robert L. Bob Stalder

The creator and author of: Poet’s Pen.

A Poet’s Friend

The pen from this poet now found fraught and weary from tremble.

What once so began my inspiration now seems only to resemble.

My eyes need not shed the tears for now my heart will forever cry.

Though feeling an isolation of verse, I shall go on, I shall truly try.

The emptiness I feel so deep inside as if to consume me my friend.

I shall never be right of verse my friend, so never to be right again.
