Dr John WorldPeace JD Selected Poems 2020: WorldPeace Poems

NOTES RE: POETRY: Dr. John WorldPeace JD I was born in 1948, in Houston, Texas. I have lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico, since 2011.In October 1970, I wrote my first poem. Over the last 50 years, I have written about 3500 poems in various poetic genres. Most of my poems could be looked at as a tiny biography of my life; one-page snap-shots of what I was thinking or experiencing at a particular moment in time.In June 2018, I began to self-publish all the poems I have ever written to date in chronological order using Amazon's self-publishing software. There will be about 35 poem books in total. I did not try to publish the various books in chronological order. Along with my free-verse poems, I have published one line (not one sentence) poems and Haiku which are 3 line poems with 5, 7, 5 syllables per line. My genetics and my current state of health make me confident, barring some accident, that I will live more than a few years past 100. I will continue to write poems and in fact, will probably increase the volume of poems over the rest of my life. I do not force my poems. I don't write unless I feel inspired. I have no desire to set a world record for a number of poems written in a lifetime. The poems are written in a couple of minutes, 2-10, then put away in a binder in chronological order. I have lost less than a dozen poems over the years. Usually, within a very few minutes after writing the poem, I have no real memory of what I wrote. The edits I make after writing a poem are minimal. Images of some of the original cursive of many poems are online: DrJohnWorldPeaceJDPoetry.com I do not write poems that rhyme except incidentally. To try to fit a poetic thought into a rhyming format, for me, breaks the flow of the poem.
