Poetic Matters of Life

About the Book

Ever feel like the young fighter who swings, pounds and hammers his way into the ring of life. After a few rounds of hits and misses we learn to defend and protect what becomes our personality, our love, our life. Eventually we grow tired of the struggle and move from the ropes to our corner and hopefully before we are taken from the ring there is at least a faint applause. Poems like Flowers Of Freedom and Life’s Sweet Music stimulate the realization of how important you are in the circle of your acquaintance. What The Children Think and many others will touch your heart for the family and Pa Pas’ Table will teach that with luck we will all get old and need the love of others. My experiences, my heart and the lessons I expose in Poetic Matters Of Life may not present the world any great wisdom but perhaps my poetic ignorance will demand your consideration. And then your wisdom will be exposed by the benefit you reap.

About the Author

As a child I was switched with a buckbrush, whipped with a belt and spanked with a 1 X 4. I had less than average grades, I couldn’t finish college, never saw combat, was a failure at marriage, but have never experienced a woman’s true love. I have been to 17 countries, had a top secret security clearance, am honorably discharged from the United States Marine Corps, have run my own business for 30 years, been elected to public office 5 times, am a fraternal leader, faithful in Church and submit my story of error and bless for your benefit and making it all rhyme is nothing short of a miracle.
