100 Poems Is Not Enough

About the Book

It was 1982, I had just discovered Reggae music (after Bob Marley’s passing), and I heard a song that changed my life for the better. The song was “Chant a Psalm a Day” by a Reggae band , Steel Pulse. Listening carefully to the lyrics of that song revived my love for writing poetry, which I had all but abandoned since 9^th grade English class. 

So the poem “100 Poems Is Not Enough” was written and I decided this should be the title of  this book of poems because this speaks so much to how I feel.  Hopefully this

collection of mostly short, direct to the point, plain and simple Praise Poems will comfort you and inspire you to Praise God with any and all the talents that God has given  you.
