There are many people who I have consulted, and who have inspired me, to express these words and feelings and to put them on paper in a form with which I am comfortable in using; Poetry, to be shared with others. To all of these friends I wish to show my great appreciation. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e I am one of those who had come from Europe in the 50's, and had to adapt to the change in school system. I spent many months, which seemed like boring times; as the material covered was a repeat just in another language, at day-dreaming letting my mind wander and a chance to write at already an early age. But a boy writing poetry was not condoned, as one was called a \"sissy\", so all of the early work was crumpleld and thrown into the \"Waste Basket\". \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e It was one of those crumpled pieces of paper, which caught the eye of my teacher, who picked it out and asked me to stay after school. Alas! I had been found to be day-dreaming and reprimanded for such deeds. But this was not so; as the teacher just complimented me and said I should NOT throw such things away, but to do them at home, and concentrate at school. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e From that time on I had not kept any papers until 1969 when I was invited to Deanna's graduation ceremony from the School of Nurshing. I wanted to write a special message for this Special Young Lady, and the result was \"A Message To A Graduate\". \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e It was another 14 years before I kept any other writings. In the late 80's I again decided to put the thoughts and dreams and impressions on paper. Then in the mid 90's I put together a set of poems for my nephew's Engagement and Wedding. Since then I have kept on writing, not only for the sake of writing, but using poems as a way of expressing myself, on sensitive topics. It was easier to give a sheet of paper with a poem than to say to a person, what might have made me blush or to open up to a special friend, and be afraid of not coming across properly. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Writing poems for me was a way of verbally painting scenes and emotions to paper, and later on, I learned how to recite these poems with almost the same conveyance of feeling and emotion. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e This may not be so convincing when the subject matter is more emotional, and one has to fear moments of anxiety or sheer panic of Blushing myself Crimson, as some of the poems are a trite deep on the amorous intonations. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e These poems are my expression of feelings of and about the events in a normal life cycle, with a strong resemblance to my own life's experience, and those of many others, It is with pleasure I wish to share these words, which many people feel, but are also a little too shy to express. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e I sincerely wish that the readers reflect on their own past, see the present and envision their future situations in this collection of writings. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e To the many people who have inspired me, shaped my feelings and had the patience to support me in my attempts to express myself, I give Heartfelt Thanks. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \"Individually you know who you are!\" \u003cb\u003e- Peter Köhl\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Köhl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1425101631\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781425101633\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Trafford Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/25\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.55d","brand":"Peter Köhl","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485129224447,"sku":"9781425101633","price":28.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4624f1f6-5c39-42f8-8cd4-9f7cccd98d88.jpg?v=1778048109","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-emotions-in-life-peter-kzihl-9781425101633","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
