When we have made it through the trials and tests, when we begin to walk in the Promised Land watch out, the arrow of complacency can bring down the highest-flying eagle.

Floating Through Time – Introduction April 30, 2025

What is poetry?

Is it merely alliteration, imagery, rhyme, rhythm, sound, stanzas, tone, and meter?

Or is it something shimmering between reality and realization?  Is it the charismatic sister of prose encapsulating enchantment bringing substance to that which is known intuitively? 

Often people ask me, “How long does it take to write a book?”

No matter what my answer; one year, two years, twenty-five years this book, my second published book of poetry, took the longest. 

I first started writing poetry before I ever heard of poetry.  There are poems in this book that I wrote while in grade school and there are poems in this book that I wrote in 2024.  Therefore, in the case of this book it took more than sixty odd years.

Touching on everything from religion, to whimsey, the offerings in this book are meant to entertain, enlighten, and amuse. 

I don’t claim to be a Kipling, an Emerson, a Cummings, or a Ginsberg.  All I can say of myself as a poet is that from an early age I felt as if I had to write, or I’d explode.

Poetry was the first vehicle of expression I was able to drive down the road of life.  While I have since added other vehicles to my fleet …

When the stars are blinking

through the trees

and the wind is singing in the leaves,

I find my meaning rhyming,

No matter the timing

Like a ship tossed in translucent seas.

What else can I say that hasn’t been said.

If God Himself is not more important to us than the blessing, then the blessing will become more important than God.
