They are <em>Dogs</em> <em>Food</em> <em>Depression</em> <em>Expression</em> <em>Spiritual Musings</em> <em>Social</em> <em>Consciousness</em> <em>Sonnets</em> <em>Limericks</em> and <em>A Little of This. A Little of That and Poems I Didn't Write.</em></p><p></p><p>The poems express humor depression Christian faith irony joy and love.</p><p></p><p>At the end of each section I give a background of each poem and its inspiration. Some poems are lighthearted. Some are dark and brooding. Except for the last section all the poems are my truth whether in content or emotion.</p><p></p><p>The last section <em>Poems I Didn't Write</em> comes from my husband's (Ralph Walton's) poetic writings. He asked that they be included. To me they show a similarity in our souls.</p><p></p><p>There is something for everyone.</p>
