Poems Through My Head – published 2008
My poems come from observing life. They are poems about emotions, poems about fun, poems about nature, poems about wonder, poems about appreciation and thanks. Poetry is my way of looking deeper into life; becoming aware through reflection. Looking at life this way has brought me to understand that our needs are really simple; it is our wants that complicate our lives. We are all wounded in some way; either we walk with a limp or with fear in our heart. Poetry, either in lyrics of songs or written verse, can help us find our way.
Some of my poems are spontaneous and others I have taken years to write. I cover a variety of subjects Some of my poems are just a few lines and some are a few pages long but I always have enjoyed writing them. If you take the time to read a few I will be happy and you may be too.
Poems Through My Heart
– published 2009
If you enjoyed any of the poems in my first collection I am sure you will find something on these pages to enjoy too.
Dream As A Child
This is the third collection planned to be published late in 2010. The Poem "Dream As A Child" was inspired by the images of my childhood like the photos featured on the book cover of me, my siblings, my Mom, Dad and grandmother. The mere viewing of these photos brought a flood of memories and a chance to revisit forgotten dreams. Perhaps you may remember some of your childhood dreams as you read these lines. Then, whether happy or bittersweet they will help you see the child is still there inside of you.
