Poetically Speaking

Book excerpt: Writing a book of poetry was not a lifelong dream, as a matter of fact, I began writing at the age of thirty three and I am now fifty four years old. I’ve compiled some of this book’s content from poetry that I wrote over twenty years ago and as I read it, seem as if it was written just yesterday. I’m convinced now that whether you realize it or not, if poetry is on the inside, somewhere on life’s journey, something will bring out the poet in you. This book is not just a book of poetry. It contains poetic truths that will touch the hearts and minds of its reader. Each title is either a story, situation, or just words to inspire you. The poems in this book have a purpose for its content; the words are about someone or something significant. I hope that each reader is captivated by the love and compassion that Poetically Speaking illuminates.
