Tales from the Disenchanted and Wisdom from the Haiku (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798889453536)

My poems are oftentimes born from some great sadness.

They usually speak of things that have been lost.

They try to catch the soul and trap the memory -

To tell the story...true...and - what - the cost.

I rhyme because it helps me to remember

I rhyme so I must measure every word.

I rhyme to help those lost things live forever.

In rhyming, lilting, steeped-in-meaning verse.

Words can prevail past flesh or thoughts or empires,

And words can make souls live beyond the grave.

So Man will ever know the wonder of them -

The courage that they showed...the joy they gave.
