My Best Loved Rhymes

About the Book

Looking out my window the first day of spring some few years ago, it appeared to be more like winter. This scene prompted me to write a poem. That very first poem is entitled “First Day of Spring”. Writing this Ode drew my interest in writing many more poems which are included in this book, “My Best Loved Rhymes”. My books of poems in rhyme text are based on nature, and true life experiences. I have also included poems of animated content. I feel that in order to write about a subject, the writer should experience as much as possible of the subject matter. In order to project the writings and experience’s to the reader, I feel the writing should be concise. This is why I write odes in rhyme with short phrases that get to the point.

About the Author

The writer was born and raised in Manhattan, N.Y.C. growing up in Washington Heights across from High Bridge Park and overlooking Coogans Bluff, the old Polo Grounds, the Yankee Stadium, and in an area between the Harlem and Hudson Rivers. This location afforded me much exploration of my surroundings. This exploration has also taken me to many places around the world. I have traveled to Asia, Russia, China and most all of Western Europe, Brazil, Israel and all the surrounding countries of the Mediterranean, including Africa. During my working life, I have been self employed as an Engineer and a writer in the Aerospace and Electro Mechanical fields of Engineering for some fifty years. My experience as consulting or contract Engineer has taken me on a travel to most of the states in my country and Canada. I have worked for over sixty corporations with excellent references. My technical education includes attending C.C.N.Y. in New York City for Industrial Engineering, Colorado University for Mechanical Engineering, and Chicago Technical Institute for Design Drawing. In addition, I graduated from a four-year curriculum in basic Aeronautical Aviation Theory.
