From Paris with Love

<p>In this collection are included poems from two weeks in Paris France----where I and Mrs. Maguy Joseph visited for seven straight summers or seasons. Then also there are a variety of poems about black/white race relations.  <br /> The weeks these poems were done were gloomy and cold (in October that year).  And rain bothered my arthritic right leg.  Nonetheless I feel the selection of poems were sufficient for this book.  <br />Even the October leaves hadn’t turned color yet as I had hoped for.  <br />But theses problems seemed surmountable_why?  Because I had my partner at home to think about while I was temporarily away.  <br />There are some other poems to fill out this selection too.  A few are about the primary campaign between Hilary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.  At the present time I'm working on poems with rhymed stanzas.</p>
