Where Yellow Ribbon Daffodils Grow

About the Book

The author never intended to release a collection of poems written over the past thirty-five years publicly. Many pieces contain very personal content, while other pieces have been gleaned from his life experiences and observations. Still others reflect the author’s love for words and the adventures of using them to build, construct, and creatively describe a feeling or a story. Bonus: Also included is the author’s short story “Through Dying Eyes,” a moving and reflective piece as you read through the diary of a man struggling to process the loss of his wife, who had encouraged him to keep the journal.
