About the Book

This book of poetry encompasses and enriches the reader with rich imagery and great humor. The satire of life may be directly related to the experiences and follies of our delicate human nature and the lessons wherein we may learn when we choose to smile and laugh, rather than turn to anger and bitterness. It is truly the strengths that are derived from our most difficult struggles that can teach us to be patient in our journey towards perfection. Not everything will be easy nor attainable, but it is within each of us to continue to strive to better ourselves despite the self-inflicted debacles we commit or the conflicts we face. It takes a better person to stand aside and laugh at oneself when times of conflict occur,...and in that moment, we may be enlightened and gain humility in this great journey called life. These poems reflect these moments of enlightenment, melancholy, satire, struggle, heartache, humor, and the pure, insatiable satisfaction life brings to all of us.
