I am happy to present to you this wide array of poetry. There is deep meaning in these poems, and you may have to read them twice to see the hidden messages. Poems such as "White Rabbit," "It's Not Enough," and "Trout Killer" shows us how certain circumstances in life leave a lasting impression. Poems such as "Coomba," and "Dorothy and Irene" paint a picture of a life that was at one time reality. The courage of these women should never be forgotten. Poems can come from anywhere, and one day, as I sat looking at a bowl of peaches, I thought of the poem "Drupe." It is whimsical and gives you a glimpse into the mind of a young teenager. I hope these poems make you think, feel, and enjoy the world that is at your hands. One should just take time to see what is before our eyes. We are so lucky to have such a beautiful planet to live on.
