The clock no
longer
Sets my agenda
Lying in bed until
My body says
You should arise
There are so many
Ways to enjoy life
Watching cable
Or writing poetry
Whatever fits your fable
A
suggestion: try my novel, THE
TRUCKERS, on Kindle
I was happily surprised to discover Kenneth T. Mencher’s brief review of my novel, THE PENCIL ARTIS, on Amazon.
Mencher wrote in his 4-star review: “A
wonderful, clever, quick read. A bit of a fairy tale that artists wish would
come true. Some of the writing is a bit clunky, but doesn't detract overly much
from the pleasure of reading this.”
THE PENCIL ARTIST was the fulfillment
of my goal to publish eight novels by the time I was 81. I uploaded the book to
Amazon, Smashwords and Barnes and Noble on Aug. 15, 2015, two weeks before my
81st birthday. That was the final act of my novel-writing career
because of the circumstances of my life. I now write poetry.
Thank you, Mr. Mencher, for your clever
review.
Don’t feel sorry
for me
just for shredding
my life
You wanted passion,
I wanted romance
Why couldn’t we just
have mixed the two
Always wondering why
our love had to die
Perhaps the answer was
taking you for granted
A suggestion try my novel, BEN
CONNOLLY in the PARIS COMMUNE, on
Kindle
