Yokum Wood

About the Book

Now about the book. Years ago at his church, Red had a discussion about boundaries how important they are in his or her life. Being part of the universe first guides Red’s poetry but he adheres to certain boundaries to put his thoughts on paper hence Red stays disciplined to 5 rhyming schemes and writes for the most part in 16 lines. Through practice Red has been able to express himself well in this discipline. Also 16 lines fits well on a page and makes for easy reading. So thanks everybody and happy reading!
