Poems from a Passer-by

This is a lifetime of observations that have found their way into poetic form. Soon there were enough of them in various forms of verses, both formal and free, to cause those closest to me to utter that hoary time honored query: “Why don’t you write a book?” Finally, the convergence of time, circumstances, quantity and quality of poetry was right to pursue such an undertaking. I can only venture a guess as to what reactions, if any, there will be to any single entry contained herein. But my curiosity has overridden my humility and so I would invite you all to comment at your leisure at Gerardkeoghjr@gmail.com. Just the basic fact that you might care to comment at all is a compliment in itself. As for myself, all I can conclude with is “ENJOY!” and “THANK YOU!”
