Journeys of Love

This book is a mammoth collection of 171 love poems.  Some of the motifs in this book are love at first sight, believing in love, and never giving up.  There are several types of poetic forms in this book:  sonnets, couplets and free verse.  There are some wedding poems like, “I Pledge Allegiance to Love,” which chronicles the oath a groom makes to his bride.  Also, there are some lonely poems like, “Somewhere In This Great Land,” which chronicles someone feeling lonely while everyone else is in love.  Some of the poems emphasize love, some sadness, but they all emphasize the power of love.

Love is a journey in which many never reach their goal of finding true love, Mr. Bohannon has dedicated his life in portraying the struggles that trying to acquire love may bring.  He once stated that the only thing worth writing about is love.  He hopes that his poetry will comfort others who have hurt and felt pain.  Sure he has been depressed and been dealt a hand that gave him a visual disability and a dysfunctional family, but he never gave up - a concept he wishes to instill in others.
