Scattered Pieces Started As A Poem Which Consisted Of Short Random Thoughts Based On The Authors Personal Experiences. Some Of These Vignettes Grew Into Poems When Subsequent Experiences Galvanized A Particular Thought Enabling The Author To Build From It A Longer And More Cohesive Form That Could Stand On Its Own. Some Remained Short Maybe Dormant But The Author Hopes That Someday Each Will Bloom And Fly Off To A Place Of Its Own.
