      Cover art by Liria Pascale: Morning at the Beach

      ISBN: 978-1-948979-72-6

      First Edition: September 2021

      Dedication

      To my wife Liria and my two sons, Raphael and Michel.

      Poetry of Wonder is the ideal book for our complicated times. It overflows with the magic of nature, the many faces of love, the lure of exotic places, and the strength of enduring faith. Christian Pascale has a unique voice that resonates equally well with humorous poetry about Gertrude Stein, a Rose is a Rose, the ethereal flavor of Autumn Woods, and the poignant love of family in Her Last Gift. Each poem awakens us to truth while soothing the soul.

      Sharon Canfield Dorsey is the author of numerous publications, including poetry books Walk with Me, Tapestry, Captured Moments and nonfiction books Daughter of the Mountains and Road Trip.

      A Hero

      A hero’s the work of moments,

      A daily tapestry of Soul

      Not a single one-time reaction

      But part of an eternal whole.

      Amber Glass

      This moment stored in amber glass

      an ancient relic from the past.

      Will I remember it, and store

      within mind’s womb, the image spore?

      This moment stored in amber glass

      A fleeting ghost that soon will pass.

      Memory haunting me once more,

      Will it withstand time’s awful shore?

      An Early Fall

      Just September, yet fall is in the air.

      I feel it in the briskness of the wind
