The Poems of Life are from my life experiences, observations, work, travelling, thinking, and meditations. I’ve been to some of these places and seen some of the events take place.

These poems are the mirror, and you are in it. You can see for yourself. As you read these poems, you can visualize looking in a mirror.

Trees and electrical wires falling all around you from the weight of heavy ice

As you wander with all the danger and frightening things going on around you

People bought gas generators to have their own electric power

Some died from carbon monoxide poison from running the generators inside their homes

It was a bad time for everyone because of the fire and ice

It was about three or four months bef...
