About this series
"Collected Poems" is a compilation of all poems written in the past fifty (something) years by the poet.
The poems are wildly different in their subject and execution. This is to be expected as the poet also is "wildly" different than when he started. So if one poem doesn't strike you the reader perhaps another one will.
And perhaps you will think that some poems are better than others.
The poet understands and only wishes that you will find one that you like.

- Lasting Days: Patterson Gap Poetry, #1
1
Patterson Gap Poetry: Book 1 A book of poetry about the days we pass. From the perfect days that never seem to last, to the bad days that never seem to end. The only constant being the poetry they leave behind, poetry that brings meaning to the days that pass us by. The author posts poems and comments at the blogspot Tumbledown Hall. He collects his poems at the Patterson Gap Poetry blogspot.
- Mountain Bound: Patterson Gap Poetry, #2
2
Patterson Gap Poetry: Book 2 Mountain Bound is about inspiration and coming home. It's about southern mountains and mystery and the longing to live beyond the cares and clashes of modernity. It's a bluegrass of poems on man, nature and metropolis and place and land, especially in the south. Sample: Seasonal turnings She's long lived / as a farmer's / wife She's gotten used / to his rhythms / in her life His rhythms / were seasonal turnings / planting to harvesting to a fallow fall Especially a fallow fall / when he kicked the barren soil / and stared straight ahead and far away But she was a good wife / she prepared and repaired / she cleaned and she dreamed They both dreamed, / through years that brought / days when despair was all they had And quiet mercies / dropped from their lives / like the last leaves of autumn When he left / the harvest was in / and she busily prepared The canning of the final fruits / of his labor that would see /her through the spring When seasonal turning / would bring to her / change. See the blogspot Tumbledown Hall or Patterson Gap Poetry for more poems and author posts.
- The Basin: Patterson Gap Poetry, #3
3
The Basin is a fictional area located somewhat in Polk County Tennessee and Fannin County Georgia. If I have roots they are there. The Basin is another volume in the Patterson Gap Poetry series.
- Grasshoppers: Patterson Gap Poetry, #4
4
Poems begin, poems end. But in-between the poet is often surprised by the journey. The process of creating a poem is only partly conscious. Some poems come to the poet completely composed and only have to be written down. Others struggle to be born, a few have a long gestation period, but none have not surprised, as the poet sometimes feels only an observer to the leaps of logic in his poetry, he is nonetheless happy to catch these special grasshoppers.
- Southern Smile: Patterson Gap Poetry, #5
5
Patterson Gap Poetry: Book 5 Southern idiosyncrasy, sci-fi, philosophy, love, bible verse and science. These are some of the subjects treated in poems in this volume. Sometimes personal, sometimes democratic, sometimes simple wordplay. 96 poems, lyrical and strong in cadence.
