Poetry from the Heart

Book Cover & Preview Text
Autumn Days I love the days of Autumn When the leaves upon the trees Turn red and golden yellow, And flutter in the breeze. They seem to be telling me That summer now has passed, School has begun again, And football season’s here at last. Gardens now are gone and covered With early morning frost; Except for pumpkins for Halloween And Thanksgiving pies – not all is lost. Another season will soon be here As early snow begins to fall, But the smell of Autumn in the air To me is best of all.

About the Book
This poetry book will keep you wondering what the next poem may contain. Will it be about a memory of parents or about another newborn in your extended family? What are some of the experiences that make a family bond?
Most poems are about experiences the author has had with friends or family members. However, the book also contains thoughts on nature and sacred subjects that are dear to her heart. Some poems may make you laugh, and they are true experiences. Love is felt as many are read. Appreciation of the wonders of the world is seen in simple descriptions as she observes and writes about them.
You will get to know the author personally as you read the section “About Me.” Perhaps some of the poems will trigger memories in your life and help you realize that you too have cause to rejoice of the many special times you have had with your loved ones.
