There's an ocean of emotion when it comes to writing rhyme. It takes a bit of patience to flow each word in time. The rhythm is important, the bounce and flow is most. You never know what feelings will wash up on the coast. This book has many levels; pains and grief and love, Laughter, song and living - inspiration from above. So as you read each poem, know my soul went into each. My prayer is that my feelings - to your heart, will reach. There is a time for everything, and a poem for every activity under the sun. A time to weep and a time to be sad, a time to laugh and a time to get mad. This book has a bit of everything, even the bazaar, so enjoy every rhyme, like I have - so far! Kathleen J.
