Humor
Something said with humor
can pale the darkest night.
The heaviest of burdens
can swiftly become light.
For each unraveled yarn
that humor weaved with wit,
reveals that if you laugh at Fear
he’ll loose his hold a bit.

About the Book
As the Mood Prescribes is a collection of poems that will appeal to the reader’s every mood. The initial quatrain implies that colors can tint our moods, but the corollary is that our moods taint our milieu. Both propositions lead our thoughts in controlled directions and each mood/color suggests a different remedy—even if it is merely a placebo.
Should the mood color the psyche red, blue, green, gold, gray, or shades thereof, the remedy for the mind’s dilemma must soothe, support or stimulate, as the reader requires.
