Introduction

This volume is a combination of things. I intended to use my writing to try to keep an upbeat attitude on the world. Sometimes it worked, other times my attitude sagged a bit. Mainly, it helped me see the world in a somewhat better light.

Poetic Forms

It contains a variety of poetic forms because I find different types of poems fun and a challenge. Mainly, I hope that some will find them enjoyable, which, in my school of thought, is a good reason for reading poetry.
