    About this ebook

    This collection of poetry has been almost 40 years in the making, spanning time from the author's adolescence to mature middle age, through love, marriage, divorce, personal loss, and death. It is comprised of a variety of subjects and themes that cover most of the emotional aspects of life that are experienced by all human beings. There are unique poems of humorous and mystical context, as well as some moving descriptions and metaphors on nature. The author believes there are strong common reference points which readers will enjoy and relate to. It reads easy and does not require any formality of poetry structure to be able to appreciate. There are many short poems, and a few longer ones, with both free verse and rhyming schemes. You are invited to come along on this extended journey that reveals the experience of life well lived.
