Verses and Versitos of Love: A Book of Bilingual Poems

By Ph.D.

Bilingual poems summarize personal, family, cultural, memoirs and professional experiences in verse. Our unique Human trait or Love is the central theme. An original Little Things are Hugh, Heavy, Accumulate signs of kindness, Love! Others help bring deceased family and loved ones to life in verse. Still others like Aunt Emma, Uncle Bill, Peace, Harmony, Love, and Colors, Memoirs of Love represent visions and thoughts of World Peace, hopes and dreams of individuals that influenced my life. The Poems too are dedicated to Biological and Academic Daughters and Sons who are extremely important. Their Love, Youth, Courage, Strength and Hunger for Knowledge were continuously most inspirational.

ROBERT N. DARNELL, the author of Biscuits and Firecrackers, was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, in 1950. He grew up in Florence and then Decatur, Alabama. His essays have been published in several literary journals and magazines. He was a doctor of chiropractic, a certified acupuncturist, and he also held an MFA from Spalding University and a PhD in clinical pastoral counseling. As ordained clergy, he and his wife, Constance, have been instrumental in starting churches and home fellowships in many locations around the United States. They reared their two adult children in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, beginning in 1997. Dr. Darnell passed away in 2015, with the goal of finishing this collection of stories unmet. They were completed with a final edit by Constance, who has authored many magazine articles as well as Songs for Martha.
