1001 Tiny Truths: 1001 Tiny Truths - Series 1 - 6, #3

By C.B. Neath

This simple book of 180 poems is for all of those that look outward into the world of humanity and nature, but strive inward for answers to the many questions that arise.

 

This is Part Three of a Six Part Series of books offering an exploration of and comment on the many facets of the experience in what it means to be human expressed in verse. It is a collection of thought-provoking poetic musings upon the conditions of the individual in the world; sometimes cryptic, at times contrary, occasionally provocative, but ofttimes reflective. Hopefully there is much to stimulate the honest soul with eyes that see.

 

From the esoteric to the existential themes such as love, death, spirituality, yearning, fallibility, isolation, hope and prayer are among some of the many topics addressed, sometimes approached from differing or even opposing perspectives, all the while earnestly searching for elusive truth and commonality.

 

Part 3 of '1001 Tiny Truths' focusses upon the following areas:

 

Dark Matters and Places – Death and Endings – Delusion and Deceit – Desire and Attraction – Greed, Jealousy and Expectation – Hypocrisy and Ignorance – Pride and Worth – Violence, Conflict and Argument

 

Dear reader, make of it what you will.
