Ive been writing poems for better than fifty years. Like other folks, Iv had my ups and downs. For some reason, when I get something on my mind, good or bad, it stays there for a while..I found that if I wrote it down in the best and fewest words possible, it helped me to get it off my mind. The result was a poem.

Ive written poems and thrown them away or lost them. Ive kept some of them for fifty years or more. In thie book is maybe one in four of all Ive ever written in my life.

Its my hope that from time someone will read one of my poems and say, Ah yeah. Ive been there. Done that. or maybe, Well, I never thought about it like that.

If that should happen to you, Id appreciate it if youd drop me a line to: Lenzie Myers

P.O. Box 22
Zalma, Missouri 63787

and tell me or lenziemyers@yahoo.com

P.S. Dont let the name Lenzie fool you. When I was a baby thats name was given only to little boy babies. So youll find me male and not female as Ive often been mislabeled.
