    About this ebook

    Sweet and Sour Bites of Life is an unusual collection of situational poetry and prose involving a few different
    aspects and areas of life, some sweet and some not so much. Some of these poems are
    very personal and after much thought and debate they were included, with my wish and
    hope is that one of these poems will help one person take one action to positively affect
    one life.
    One section is about natures wonders including Old Faithful, a volcano, rain and storms. The next section cover aging and thoughtful life events. That is followed by sour sections about harsh life events, pain and sudden death. Then we finish with funny, romantic and inspirational poems and prose. I believe you will find most thoroughly enjoyable.

    At the end of this book are excerpts from my other three novels if you find this collection interesting.

      Summer: A Love Story

      Apr 20, 2021

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life
