T. M. Thompson

I wrote my first poem in 1978 just to express how criticism could destroy or cripple an individual when support could cause talent and beauty to grow and flourish. To my surprise I found it very easy to write in rhyme and express in simple terms poetry about Life, Love, and everything in between. Some of my poems deal with love and romance, others are playful while many explore New Age concepts about the nature of reality and experience. This book is the first of seven volumes to be published. I hope you enjoy my poems as much as I did writing them. T.M. Thompson
