More than just a collection of passionate, tender love poems, and there are plenty of those, written to individuals who entered and exited my life over a period of many years, this volume contains poems on such subjects as humor, love of home, friendship, philosophy and patriotism. For the determined poet, there is haiku. “In All My Lives on Earthen Soil” and “Evolution” suggest reincarnation. And for the adventure-minded, “The Dying Soldier,” “The Stranger in the Bar” and “The Rescue” offer excitement in the form of epic, romantic story-poems. If you are a poet, or just that blessed entity, a poetry lover, I think you will find some distraction here.
