Downhome Poetry by a Gay Guy from Wisconsin

Poetry can be serious... and it can be fun! Downhome Poetry by a Gay Guy from Wisconsin is filled to the brim with much seriousness and loads of downright silliness! Within, one will find all sorts of emotions: love, hate, happiness, sadness, stress and fun, and miscellaneous thoughts and feelings. Serendipitous moments are important, too. From childhood to adulthood - feelings are real and can be very personal. Hence, the capturing of these in poetic form. All of us have expressions that are locked up or bottled up in the recesses of our brains. Sometimes we can open up the locked areas of our minds by putting those thoughts into rhyme - no matter how silly they are, or for that matter, how serious. When things are difficult to talk about or to express out loud, those same thoughts can be captured through verse. By doing this, one can learn to become more expressive and honest: To open up to self and reality. This book of poetry comes from the heart. From the fears of kindergarten's first day to gradually getting older, there is a little of this and a little of that, offering oodles and oodles of strange, weird and wonderful stuff! There are walks in the park and wonderment: Wonderment in nature to wondering if there is a Creator. From pets to grandma's homemade bread, life's adventures never stop! Herein, find interesting sayings, fun tongue-twisters and fond memories. Within, find fears, sadness, happiness, silliness and unusual ways to view life. Life's roller coaster can be fast and sometimes dangerous, and it can be a slower ride, as ageing becomes reality.
