POETRY I wrote FOR YOU

Thomas Kemp is a sixty-seven year old divorced man and the father of two grown sons, a daughter, and two lovely daughter-in-law's. He started writing poetry for his own enjoyment when he was nineteen years old and a Marine stationed in the Far East. When asked what compelled a young service man to write poetry he would say "There was something inside of me that made me write every chance I got. I wrote on anything I could find in those days; napkins, coasters-you know, those ones made of paper-even tablecloths."

Thomas finally sat down long enough to write his first novel starting in 1993 which he finished and published in 1996-a book called The Road From Here To Where You Stay, a poetical thriller and love story woven within the murder plot of former President John F. Kennedy. Cleverly written to intrigue and seduceThomas, as Poet, clearly shows his ability to weave the violence of war and the murder of a president with cleverly placed poems and words whispered among the pages with loving grace and romance. Be enriched and enthralled and read the romantic words from a man who has become a familiar poet to many, who is today called...YOUR POET IS And POETRY I wrote FOR YOU
