Sailors, Lovers and Cowboys

Book excerpt: An enthralling collection of poetry that looks back to the images that were, and in many respects, still are the pages of Americana. It will stir the senses from the smell of salt-sea air to the touch of snowflakes on a western trail. There are verses that reveal the power and beauty of the oceans and the men who lived and worked on the sea. Some poems will make you tingle and others cause a smile and chuckle. Lovers nestle in one another's arms and speak of everlasting love…some with eloquence…others a bit awkwardly. A trip through gardens and nature's paradise awaits. The cowboys will take you back in time when life was tough and sometimes a cowboy's only friend was his horse.
