Notes About The Poem

This poem represent the forward in a poetry book that I recently published,

A Poet’s Fore-blurb

In my poems you will find
Introspections from a worldly mind.
Some are pensive, some are kind,
But they helped me pass my time.
I hope that you’ll enjoy my wit,
And don’t consider me a twit.
By the time you read my poems all through,
You’ll find that I am very much like you.

In my poems, you will see
Life’s dominant personalities.
As words poured freely from my mind,
These personalities slowly were defined. 
Some thoughts are flippant, and some are tender,
Some are distant, but still rendered.
Most are harmless, but some are lethal,
And some were borrowed from other people.
Some poems are passionate, yet filled with strife
And though not pretty, they’re part of life.
Some will leave you open-eyed.
So, buckle up for a sentient ride.

This is a good forward. Maybe you could post a blog about your book, if you wanted.. all the best.

Thanks. I will think about it. I have all the poems for my second book. Amazon publishing knows that. They asked me to send them for publication. But I am not ready to do that. 'Glancing Back' and 'Fading Drumbeats' will be in my second book of poems. My poetic style is still evolving. The best is yet to come. I will post 'My Place for Loneliness' next. It is my oldest granddaughter's favorite.
