For over forty years, Dennis Herrell has been writing both serious and humorous poems about his life in this civilized society. He finds his poems by keeping his eyes and ears open and his mouth shut. Mostly. He really likes to write short funny poems that are like verbal snapshots or vignettes of some of the remarkable life forms that share our world. He especially likes Haiku, with its 3-line, condensed view of nature and life, and has published over 150 Haiku so far.
In his first five Ebooks, Dennis has shared his poems about Underwater Dwellers, Birds, Cats & Dogs. Insects, and Some other Creatures. They were fun for him to write, and he hopes that you have enjoyed them too. This time Dennis gives readers his unique poetic descriptions (meaning—fun to read) about another “Life Form” that surrounds us and that we take for granted—Plants. Specifically, Dennis will wax poetically about vegetables. He will bring to the table his humorous poetic views about some of those vegetables we love and/or hate—quite often with strong feelings on the dislike side.
In “A Poetic Treatise About Vegetables”, Dennis will raise the green, yellow, and red Flag of Vegetables, and we will discover what you do or do not salute. For poet Dennis, it was a book that was fun to write, and hopefully fun for adults and kids of all ages. So, come along with Dennis, and put some interesting (perhaps strongly controversial) veggies on your plate.
Dennis Herrell was a teacher, a sporting goods wholesaler, a gift/card wholesaler, and antique dealer. He is now retired. His writing life began in college, and continued off and on during his working years. Dennis lives in Texas, a big, diverse land of desert, mountains, hills and valleys, meadows, prairies, rivers, lakes, and salt water bays and beaches. He calls the almost sub-tropical city of Houston his home. Dennis loves his 1920’s bungalow in the old historical Heights district of Houston. So, join Dennis in his latest poetic stories about some of the vegetable life forms that appear on our table, and that make our lives more interesting and healthier. Have a little laugh, and perhaps a little sigh of wonderment, too.
