"Poetry: A Mind of Its Own

This book of poetry was written over a period of eight years. Many of the poems were in the author?s imagination, and some were based on her experiences. She found an outlet to rid herself of dangling thoughts and memories. A registered nurse by profession, she found some peace while writing about Parkinson?s disease?the big P, as she refers to it. At retirement age and at the beginning of a rough roll through life, she was diagnosed with Parkinson?s disease?a fine retirement present!

The book includes a variety of themes usually ending in a positive slant. The book includes poems that make a tribute to those who passed and that add some comfort to the ones left behind.

The protagonists are people, dogs, streams, an island, and a variety of thoughts and feelings. The poems are written simply, and they do rhyme, creating a path for the poem to follow. Poems seem to have a mind of their own, leading the author on a journey she did not expect.
