Overview

This book is an eclectic collection of different styles of poetry; rhymed and metered, free verse, limericks, my attempts at haiku without proper supervision... and a sonnet. Included, also, is commentary on each work. I was born and raised in California. Except for 4 years in the Navy, one trip to Europe and Africa for 8 weeks, and one trip of 2 weeks to Israel I have spent my whole life here... well, there was that booze laden Mexico cruise in 2012, but never mind. After the Navy with the help of the GI bill for education and many part time jobs I put myself through college. I started at a city college to gain my academic legs. I excelled in english, math, and history. I managed to pass the other classes; science etc. My first year at the city college I took an elective; poetry. I'm still not sure why. Over the years since then I have written poetry of many disciplines; rhymed, free verse, haiku, limericks, and a sonnet. Still working the sonnet thing... someday. When I met my wife the tone of my writing changed. When she died it changed again for a very long time. There was little humor. When the Biden administration came into power it opened a whole new, for me, direction for my poetry; The writing stuck with me and I have written, on and off, for many years. In 2017 I decided that I wanted to share so I set about trying to publish a book. The company wasn't very good at it, but then neither was I. After learning my craft, to a certain extent, I decided to try again. The results of the new attempt will be out.
