Looking Through Rose Colored Glasses

About the Book

My book is a compilation of my poetry I have written over a 25 year period. I included a short story because it started out as a poem and ended up as the beginning of the story. I have been inspired by the many events in my life, One poem Naturally was adapted from memory of a poem I read maybe 15 years ago by an author whose name I do not know. My poem is written and created by me but her poem about this theme did inspire me.
