Verses From a Restless Mind

About the Book

L. A. Evans has created a diverse collection of poems, ranging from limericks to iambic pentameter; free verse to haiku and everything in between. In terms of mood they range from humour to thoughtful introspection and sadness.

There is one thing they all have in common; their intent is to softly caress your heart. Read slowly through them, and give yourself time to absorb the underlying feeling, and let your emotions respond accordingly.
