Publisher's Synopsis
Resuscitating the Poetic Rhythm and the Rhyme Almost everyone likes poetry. If you like music-particularly the lyrical content-you like poetry. If you like great film dialog, you like poetry. If you like reading birthday cards, you like poetry. Just about everyone likes poetry in some form or fashion. There is a passion about it. There is a rhythm to it. There is soul in it. Most of the names will not be known, and most of the authors of these poems only wrote the solitary poem that included in this book. Seek out these writers. Steve Dustcircle Paul Thomas Gilbert S. W.
