Poems from the Shoebox

They were therefore stashed away in a shoebox that survived many relocations and stages of life from teenage years through retirement. </P><p>When she transferred the poems from shoebox to a computer file Nell Wiser discovered that they seemed to be almost a poetic autobiography which was categorical rather than chronological.</p>There are seven categories: Musings Youth Family and Friends Despair Change Love and Later Years.</P><p>Many of these expressions of thought and feeling are universal and may be reflected in your own life experiences. Others are unique to the perceptions of the poet.</P>
