My Reasons in Rhyme

My Reason's in Rhyme...is a collection of my life's work in poetry. It might become painfully obvious to some that I have never been schooled in poetry writing let alone English. Eighth grade English class was the worst three years of my life! My poetry just appears from somewhere I even have trouble explaining. Often, it just pours out. I have found myself writing down poems while driving...Not recommended! Other times, I wake up with a poem germinating and I write it down before anyone in the house is even awake. Winter Vine was written while parked next to a grape vineyard in the Central Valley because I was early to a sales appointment! The poem "Someone Else" was written while stuck in traffic in Southern California on my way to the first job I ever had working for wages...for someone else. The poem "Create" was written in a hotel lobby in Santa Barbara when I happened to have some time to kill. Each of my poems recreates feelings and places...or feelings about places! Some of the experiences that have created these poems have cost me greatly. For the price of a book, I will share them with you and I hope you will connect some of your own feelings and places with the ones that have meant so much to me!
