Back then people took meaningful somethings, Pictures that said something about who was in them. It was the talk of the moment, when someone spied a photo album. People displayed photos like the circus displayed it’s performers. Photographs were usually black and white but that never changed their sparkle. In many pictures you’d have relatives all ages and in all manners of dress. People would reconnect or recollect times, the places, and the faces…
I wrote my first book a few years ago. I was just learning things and since it was self-published, it had grammatical errors and probably misspellings. I hope to one day correct that. The same goes for my second book. On my third book, I think I did much better. It has been a gradual progression of teaching myself and working hard to provide a quality book.
I hope you will like the poems though. They are genuine and from my heart. Some I have posted on my webpage. I have a lot of poems. I have tried to collect them and save them for future use.
I guess this is my “Heart Series” and I hope to keep going with it.
This poem that I am going to share is about the times when perhaps you cross another’s mind. It basically is saying that if you don’t care, don’t think about me.
I was shunned by my own family, after many years of conflict, many years of them looking the other way, yet finding ways to make my home life miserable.
I love this “matter of fact” poem. It is one of my own favorites.
This is my second book, “Heart Paths”, I self published just a week after my first book, “HeartStones”. It like my first book could have used more editing. I guess it is true what they say about getting better the more you try.
Heart Paths
I am going to be coping from my poem, “Strings”
There are places, people, and things
They will bring out great happiness or complicated things
When you are caught up with any of them, as we sometimes do
They will greatly impact you.
It is strings that we hold to places, people, or things
That make us into who we are and sometimes what makes us sing
They can also make us weep, confused, or depressed.
That is how you know you once enjoyed things at their best.
Suddenly though, for no reason or rhyme
You find them gone or not worth your time.
