My poems have been included in several anthologies and received glass and metal awards plus applauding certificates. I have four books published; including this one makes five. I feel I have become accustomed to expressing myself through poetry. I hope you will become accustomed to reading this book. You'll find why trends today are the talk of the town.

I've been writing poetry for many a year. I remember how it came from sitting around the house handicapped. But this I did have training brought in to me by my son attending the Magnet School for the Gifted. After my handicap improved somewhat, I moved from St. Louis, MO to California where I subscribed to poetry groups and publications including Writer's Digest.
