Toads Rocks and Rhymes

<p>If you've never heard the term chapbook you're not alone. You are invited to read this one! I would describe my writing as a doorway for readers who might think poetry wouldn't interest them. Much modern poetry though it has merit can be darkly abstract to the point of discouraging the reader. I hope that these poems will lift your spirits and show you a positive simple style of writing while avoiding the hackneyed or saccharine. Some are gently humorous some are formal in style and all are meant to delight you and make you think.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>(A chapbook is a short often first collection of poems. Only poets use the word so knowing it won't be very useful.)</p>
