Over the Years: My Poems, Songs, and More

By Diane Solomon Walter

The contents of this book describe a variety of emotions, and they include poems, songs, and notes for a play. These are about people, ideas, animals, social observations, Dianes college experience, some Christian/religious thoughts and beliefs, and some of her personal experiences. Here is one of Dianes poems from inside this book:

Cold Snow

She placed her hands on the cold, cold snow,
As if to feel the beat of her childs heart
That beat no more but lay beneath
The cold, cold snow.

As a poet, song writer, and writer of plays, as well as being an actress, a dancer, an ice skater, and performer, Diane Solomon Walter is a unique voice in her approach to writing.

She ice skated professionally in Australia and also worked as a stenographer and secretary. She also competed in amateur ballroom, Latin American, and Old Time dancing.

She has recently completed two diplomas in community services and case management and worked for twenty-one years with multidisabled deaf and blind children. She has had poems published due to participation in competitions, some of which are now in the Library of Congress.
