Lovelines Lifelines

Book excerpt: Lifelines Lovelines is a collection of poetry that chiefly entertains and unexpectedly moves the soul. From witty to winsome, Jim's poems provide a look at life through eyes of one who speaks the truth as he sees it. His rhythmic musings can catch you off-guard with subjects ranging from pessimism to love, determination to agnosticism, and from elephants to prunes as the afterlife of plums. Nothing is more stirring, however, than the tender love lines addressed to his beloved, when "Three Dots Upon An Envelope" become a symbol of the many joys they have known. Pride and prejudice have never been more exposed as a thief of peace than in "New Yorkers May Roam Far Afield." and love, fidelity and faith overcome all obstacles to marital happiness in "When You Are Six And Forty." Lovelines Lifelines helps us reflect on life and other things we seldom pause to consider. Refreshing and thought-provoking, this little book will warm your heart and leave you wanting more.
