Life Seen Through a Vintage Window

About the Book

I have 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 humor to thoughtful introspection and sadness. There is only one thing they all have in common: their intent is to softly caress your heart. Read the poems slowly out loud to a friend, taking time to absorb the underlying feeling, and let your emotions respond accordingly. The poems present life as I see it and therefore provide a glimpse into who I am. If you hate it, you hate me. If you love it, you love me. If it’s just okay, that’s okay. I still love you.
