Oscar F Stroede Jr.

I spent my first eighteen year in Oshkosh (By Gosh) Wisconsin. My next forty one years was working for the government. We have six children, nine grandchildren, and three great grand children. We’ve gone through seven dogs, two cats, one duck, and a rooster. We retired in Payton, Ohio. My poems are about me, people, places, and things I’ve either done or experienced. I try to make my poems flow and meaning that reflects a message, feeling, and point of view.
