However, though the greatest bulk of this offering is new work within a period of four months. Earlier poems included, add to the essence that I wished to convey.

THE TITLE OF THIS BOOK IS.

However, in order to show diversity, other methods of presentation occur. Ranging through a full course of emotion, I hope you enjoy. Hoped is that this book will take you to places you may never have ever been!

AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY

I am quiet by nature, but a drink does raise my voice. Writing has not been a large part of my life, but I am able to produce words arranged in new forms. The pen now enriches my days, Even using dream mechanisms to write from my sleep.

The youngest of six children, my family has always been there for me. This despite my farther leaving my mother when still incredibly young. During working times, jobs include manual work. Never a person with full capabilities, my output limited! The greener grass wanted, but so seldom found.

Now older I write again… this after a break for fifteen years. I write as one of you. All that can be I am for those that do become emersed. Emotions are a humans greatest show of feeling! Hoped is the fact that this voyage of words will Take you to a special place.

INTRODUCTION

Brave waves create this as you read true!

Giggles erupt, I hope you need no nurse!

Smiles: hope is… this voyage give to you:

Known is poems shall ring true!

This offering is for everyone; I hope you enjoy

Now the poetry begins

SETTING THE SCENE

29790.png

Light does capture, silhouetted are things hardly seen:

The illumination here is the theme!

Candle’s flicker, these create diffused scene:

Imagination churning, thoughts dull, then gleam!

Creation of writing new, this the reason for lighting of room:

New combinations of words, from pen boom!

Rhyme the biggest factor of... what shall I pen:

Time eventually brings new fruit to end!

Dancing shadows stimulate, the scent here too:

Speed of hand form now, lines which I do view!
