Poems with a Message

You will enjoy this book of poems each written by Mr. Lohman to provide good feelings on an event you have recognized or will recognize at some point in your life. The poems include messages about nature family reflections on life sports and even politics. Mr. Lohman being a Christian often included the potential involvement of God in these events. The last small group of poems describes the thoughts an 89 year old might have about approaching the hereafter. This he speaks from personal experience. Many of the poems are structured in the pleasing sonnet format and its enjoyable rhythm. A second characteristic of Mr. Lohman's writing was the use of rhyming when appropriate. This rhyming rhythm enhanced by selected comma use made writing poetry mentally challenging but always left a good feeling about the message. The poems included here were all produced in the last 24 months of Mr. Lohman's life following his family's recovery from a major disaster; Hurricane Harvey in August 2017 destroyed the entire interior of their home. However these poems represent not two years but a lifetime of experiences thoughts and observations he has encountered during his 89 years. Clearly in many instances his thoughts included messages led by God to whom he gives all the credit for this book of poems.
