Book Cover & Preview Text
Percolating Poetry is a part of a series of Prophetic Poetry that intersects with some of the major events that touch our lives. The poems awaken our social conscience and brew like a cup of coffee. Volume 6 gives a poetic pause between Volume 5 Unprecedented (on Trump’s Presidency) and Volume 7 Poems Rising to the Occasion (from January 6, 2021). Poetic Pause All of life bears poetry within it through words That point to a higher or deeper reality We will struggle to share our meaning to life Either it will likely lean toward war or peace. (On those occasions when poetry elicits a social consciousness of heart and mind) Dressing up Spring Summer flowing dresses Sweep across the room During a frivolous springtime Like a flight of birds and bees Picking up the pace of passion To infuse joy into the ordinary. (On occasion when the coffee percolates, bubbles rise to the surface and Spring renews)

About the Book
Poetry keeps bubbling up like Ole Faithful and brewing a pot of coffee. A cup of coffee gives me time to pause and rest from the craziness that’s out there. Sometimes over a cup of coffee we can wake up something much deeper in our conversations with another. A poem may find its way into this book Percolating Poetry that could awaken the mind and heart to a new resolve for peace and justice. This book is a part of a series of Prophetic Poetry that intersects with some of the major events that touch our lives and finds language to bring relief from our insanity with nuclear weapons. Enjoy. Percolate. Move ahead.
