Publisher's Synopsis
This collection of poems, written at various times over the last 25 years, represents ideas and concepts that intrigue me. As a poet, I have discovered that my muse flows best when I am immersed in creating an acrostic poem. In my writing, I strive to capture the essence of a thought in the body of the poem, then add a title as an afterthought. Some of the ideas presented are timely, some are humorous, others not so funny. You may enjoy, in a few cases, finding a double acrostic, or even a third set of alphabetic sequences within these lines. A few poems are not acrostic in nature because my muse took the liberty of expression in a more standard poetic rhythm. I kiss these words farewell, for just as the wind blows leaves hither and thither and cannot predict where they will settle, it is my hope that these poems will find a place of rest. Please enjoy them. After all, in order for grass to grow, rain has to happen.
