The Collection

'The Collection’ is a book of rhymed and metered poems. It is a collection regarding Blues, Chivalry, Dark Poetry, Fantasy. Death, Nature, Remorse, Romance, Sonnets, Ballads of Stories—True and Fictional, and Various Poetry Forms. ‘The Collection’ is designed to take the reader away from the upscale world in which we live. Within these pages one can escape from the glaring lights and noisy atmosphere of reality, to delve for a few moments, an hour or perhaps an entire day, into the emotional heartbreak of love, the sad yet beautiful onslaught of death, or be transported into the fantastic realm of the Faeries. Experience the wild drenching fury of a desert monsoon, ride with an Arizona Ranger as he faces the guns of a desperado who has already carved six notches on his gun grip. Look with the eyes of a lonely man who glances into the stare of a sultry temptress. Follow the footsteps of a person bent on suicide and meets face to face, the courage to carry out his desire. Be a part of the crew of a sailing ship in the 1800s, which has drifted into a cove, now gripped in the throws of grave danger at breaking up on the rocks. This is the book to take with you when you want to get away from it all. To spend some time alone, forgetting the familiar path of your life as you look into your heart renewing your soul and refreshing your outlook on life.315 Poems all written in Rhyme & Meter: 8 Poems of Blues, 5 Poems of Chivalry, 8 of Dark Poetry, 29 of Fantasy, 26 of Death, 23 of Nature, 15 of Remorse, 51 of Romance, 91 that tell a story, 20 of truthful happenings, 15 Sonnets, 24 Poems of Various Standard forms, and 1 Trilogy in three books: Book 1 (50 verses) Book 2 (65 verses) Book 3 (129 verses)
