About This Book

A compact collection of short lyrical poems and light verse that shifts between playful sketches and earnest meditations. Recurring subjects include love and courtship, reflections on youth and aging, solitude, and small-town or frontier life. Several pieces celebrate natural settings such as the sea and mountain landscapes, using vivid but plain diction. Some poems employ humor and character sketches to portray everyday figures, while others dwell on memory, loss, and the passage of time. The overall tone balances simple, rhythmic lines with reflective and occasionally wistful moods.

Who?

Who lights the stars that twinkle at night?
Who makes the snow so pure and white?
Who makes the heat, the cold, the air?
Who makes the flowers with beauty so rare?
Who makes the winter wind fiercely blow?
Who makes the water to ebb and flow?
Who makes the hills and valleys so grand?
Who makes the sky, the sea and the land?
Who makes the night? Who makes the day?
Who cheers the traveler on his way?
Who fills the mountains with silver and gold?
Who (when the traveler is weary and old)
Opens the gates, when no more we can roam,
And bids us to enter our Heavenly home?
