The Well House Poems

This is a book of selected poems, some new, some not so new. it is my first book publication, though some of my poems have been published elsewhere. There are some lessons to be learned laughs to be had and tears to be shed. Enjoy.

When I write a poem they sometimes come off the top of my head while others are inspired by events that take place. Sometimes while reading another's work like John Hollander, or Frost, Kipling, or others to many to mention, there will be a single word that grabs me or a line that leads me down a quiet road to only God know where. I have always been inspired by my wife and the love we share and our grandchildren as I grow older. This short 132 page book is a reflection of all those things plus too my love for the natural world. My hope is that there's one in there that you'll take with you for awhile and keep it close like I have. Think Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening or Digging By Seamus Heaney and I think you'll get the picture. GFH
