Book Description
Most of my poems are happy ones. I have always written to express my emotions or moods. The Reason For The Season was written, of course, to show the real reason we celebrate Christmas. Some think Home Again is sad. I wrote it after a visit with my brother to our old home place. I think we felt nostalgia rather than sadness. Our Matt was written mostly for his mother to express my feelings for this young man, who even in junior high showed a real compassion and friendliness for his young classmate who was confined to a wheelchair. I wrote In Passing after death of my first husband when I passed by the farm where we had lived. Snapshot was written after a similar experience. Tribute to Sandburg was written after a trip to Conemara. It put me in a contemplative mood because even though Sandburg had long been one of my favorites, I had known very little about his private life or family. I wrote A Poem Upon Demand in a playful mood when I could not think of one to fulfill as assignment at our writers club. I Saw You Last Night I wrote one morning after a dream. The Class Reunion was written for our Alumni Banquet. It has been a favorite of several of my classmates and of Bill Robinson, my favorite country editor. A Perfect Snow Day I wrote for my garden club after a big snow. I have enjoyed writing and sharing my poems with friends although I kept my poetry private for many years until my friend, Judy Goodspeed, encouraged me to attend writers club with her in 2002. Prior to this I attended two workshops at St. Simonds Island, Georgia, one in Lawton, Oklahoma, one in Abilene, Texas and several at East Central University at Ada, Oklahoma. Although my instructors were encouraging and some even suggested I should try to have some of them published, because I was so busy at other things, I just never did. It could also have been lack of courage. I hope those who choose to read my poems enjoy them as much as I have enjoyed writing them.

Capturing Life's Moments in Rhythmic Verse As the years pass, I found myself reflecting on the legacy I would leave for my children and future generations. It dawned on me that there is no greater gift than sharing the wisdom, memories, and inspirations I have gathered throughout my life. Thus, "A Legacy of Rhythmic Reflections: Inspirations and Experiences Through Poetry" was born.

Book Description
The time that I have spent traveling in the many journeys of my life, I find myself listening to sweet music. I also find myself seeking, not only words of wisdom that I can translate, but I hear music that remind me of life past and the many hopes for the future. In order to fully appreciate what any author is trying to articulate, one must first put themselves into the poem or story to fully understand what they are trying to write or say. Poetry is based upon the authors own interpretation of the subject that they are writing about. True poetry is taken from the depth of ones own soul and their feelings at the time that they put the quill to the parchment.

Book Description
My personal faith in Christ has been growing and enlarging from the time I was saved as a child. Through my stubborn and at times absurd rejection of what Christ wanted for me, HE has always remained steadfast and true. I really believe that Christ is truly the only choice we have as humans. I got married when I turned twenty and before the end of our second year God called her home. It took many years to get past her abrupt death and during that time I rebelled against God and humankind alike. It is interesting that this period of my life allowed me to get closer to God than can be imagined. God does forgive and God will not turn His back on anyone, no matter what they try to do to force Him. I began writing these poems while I was in high school and as my life changed I continued to write what came to mind and in whatever circumstance I found myself. I rarely let anyone read them or even know that I wrote them, in fact after several years I packed them away and almost forget about them. After my forty year journey of working for myself, God called me to work for Him in 2007. I moved to Seneca, South Carolina and while unpacking found the manuscript and shortly thereafter began preparing it for publication. As you read through the many styles of poetry found in this book, I pray that you also discover something about yourself and ultimately about God and His influence on all our lives whether we are living right or not. I thank you for even considering reading this little book of rhymes. I pray that it will bring you into whatever God has in store for you.

Book Description
My Life in Rhymes is a collection of poems, musings and songs. Poetry has been described as a verbal composition designed to convey experiences, ideas, or emotions in a vivid and imaginative way. It is characterized by the use of language chosen for its sound and suggestive power and by the use of literary techniques such as meter: a unit of measure or a pattern of beats, metaphor: a figure of speech which is not literal, and rhyme: corresponding sound between words or the endings of words, especially when these are used at the ends of lines of poetry. Robert Frost simplified the definition of poetry by saying "Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words." My Life in Rhymes documents, in poetic form, my life story and my emotions, in which I have indeed, found thought, and with the words that I found to express that thought, I hope will take the reader on a journey through the many aspects of this man's very existence with me as the guide.

Book Description
This book is a collection of some of my favorite poems from hundreds of selections. It seemed that no matter how I tried to just write or keep a journal, it ended up in verse that rhymes. Thus, My Life Seems To Rhyme. It is an autobiography in verse inspired by many (including my own personal faith) that needed to shine. Let this gift of mine be a gift to those who read this.
