About the Book

Many poems seem to create themselves with verses and thoughts falling into place. I constantly offer to read a poem to anyone nearby. I give poems away to cashiers or anyone waiting in line. I try to keep poems with me when I am in any setting available. I often have several poems in a folder and have made many new friends by just giving them a poem. I have a lot of people who look forward to my next poem. A lady who is always looking forward to my next poem once told me that she gives each one to her church. These poems are given freely to anyone who wants it. A lady in the grocery store asked if I remembered her. She said I read her a poem in the grocery store once as she came home from visiting her mother in the hospital. She gratefully reminded me of the peace she found from my poem.
