On the Inside, Looking Out

About the Book

These poems were written not only for women but for all people who have experienced love, pain, longing, joy, loneliness, embarrassment and all the other emotions known to mankind. If you have lived to adulthood (and that age differs with all of us), you have no doubt experienced most or all of these feelings. Some you may have enjoyed; others, not so much. But, if you are like me, you remember most of them. Oddly enough, you may remember the negative ones as much as, or more than, the positive ones. Either way, while you are reading this, we are connected and that alone makes my efforts worthwhile. I wish to thank everyone who influenced me and therefore, provided me with the necessary incentive to rhyme. We are planning a Volume II., So watch for further developments!
