Troubles And Truths

Finally! Poetry that makes sense! Laugh. Snicker. Smile. Smirk? A tear, a gulp, a fight? …or debate if you want to tone it down. Troubles: Individual and global, big and small. Truths: Freeing, invigorating, or pit-of-the-stomach true.

Troubles and Truths Book 1 Chapter Topics: Everyday Life, Eldercare, Love and Nature, Other Worldly/Metaphysical, Thoughts-Random and Philosophical, and The Art of Writing.

1. Everyday Life: or not so everyday. An overly discerning, slightly askew look at a variety of people in situations of all types – from the snorer to the cleaning lady to the vet. You'll laugh. You'll raise an eyebrow. You'll wonder.
2. and 3. The almost universal question of Eldercare: Sometimes you just have to laugh, there is nothing else you can do! Here's where your heart will… Well, I'll let you decide. Just know that for far too many people, eldercare responsibility is now the new stage of life after you retire, but before you are free to enjoy retirement.
4. Love And Nature: No "Roses are red, violets…" at all! There's more than one kind of love, even ex's, and nature can include a hurricane!
5. Other Worldly/Metaphysical: brings wonder and awe. You won't ever find horror or trecky sci-fi fantasy in my poetry. Remember? This is a series of Troubles and Truths.
6. Thoughts – Random and Philosophical: investigates people's thinking processes, delves into kinds of thinking. What about the people who don't think at all? (We all know some.)
7. The Art of Writing: Poetry about poetry? Oh, yeah.
