POETIC TRANSITIONS SPRING: Third of a Four-Part Poetry Series contains poetry that been written during the last decade of my life. There are love stories, though some love was lost, the love was real while it lasted. There were strives and struggles for some graduates, but they made it. There was the loss of loved ones, but there was the feeling of honor that the Lord allowed us to share time and space with those precious souls while they were here. And there, of course, is other poetry about family and friend relationships and situations. Hopefully you will be able to feel the poetry as you read it. Someone on television once said that he was told that once he suffers more, he will become a better writer. If that is true, I am on my way to becoming one of the best!
