  • This unique collection of poetry was meant to be an accessible and enjoyable read for everyone, poet and common man alike. In these pages one will read about everyday life events, observations about nature, tales of fantasy, recounts of tragic events, family, and, of course, love. These writings will entertain the reader, sometimes evoking laughter, sometimes bringing tears, sometimes leaving a warm feeling, and often provoking thought and wonder. In addition to traditional poems (rhyming, free-verse, and acrostic), the author presents many “storoems” -- a word he coined to describe a non-traditional format of telling a story with poetic techniques, i.e. a hybrid story-poem or storoem. These storoems bring a new experience to the poetry reader. This 197-page book contains more than 185 poems and storoems for the reader’s pleasure. From armadillos to angels, the contents will surprise and touch the mind and emotions of all readers.
