Matters of the Heart

This is a book of 93 poems that come from the heart of one who lived and loved life. The poems run the gamut of subject matter, from deadly serious to utterly whimsical and humorous, even nonsensical. The reader will experience poetically, what it meant to grow up in the 50's and 60's as seen through eyes, aspirations, hopes and dreams of a southern Indiana boy. Most of the poems are written in groups of 4-line verses and attempt to rhyme at the end of the lines. In other words, they share a close similarity to music lyrics. Sometimes, readers will experience sentence structure that reads like Old English but that is one of the hidden gems of the book. Either way, you can't help but experience love, joy and wonder in a unique way as it is penned by this author.
