    About this ebook

    In poet Don Edwards’s third collection, The Third Book, he uses mainly free verse with exceptions, including sonnets and rhyming stanzas. These are his life views realized in poetry. Every word recalls his outlook and how to approach the world around us. Early on, Edwards saw life as an opportunity to create his own memories and destiny. He sees no problem with loneliness, as life alone is better than no life at all, especially if we live to the fullest. However, there are boundaries. As much as we hope to live in complete freedom, we are often hindered by what we are allowed and directed to do. Still, we must dance on. Your destiny is yours to live, so make the best of it.

    Don Edwards

    Don Edwards has previously published four books of poetry. These are Scars and Stories — Poems, More Stories — A Book of Poems, The Third Book — A Book of Poems, Mostly, and To Warm The Solitary Night. The third book is “mostly” poems because it includes a handful of stories at the end. Everybody Wants To Be Loved is his fifth book of poetry. Mr Edwards is also the founding member of True Gospel Bookstore which records his poems as songs. These songs can be heard on all streaming services. Also, he has recorded some of these poems for the True Gospel Bookstore website. If you would like to hear them, go to the “Book of Poems” page at www.truegospelbookstore.com. Most of these poems consider the topics of Love and Death, which is all that matters, and also the M poems. Mr Edwards lives in Los Angeles.
