As a young man, in the first years of college, I was fascinated by simple beauties. As I have grown my experiences and life problems&solutions have grown broader and more complex (as is represented in my later works). This collection is from about 1986-1988 and harkens to a simpler time, similar to haiku and the flower paintings of O'Keefe. These poems have always held a dear and tender spot in my heart and I strongly believe they will in yours too. See if they do, and share them with those you love. They is how they were intended to be "used". Poetry DOES serve some purpose: To broaden the realms of Beauty in our world, individually and as a species.
