Hope On A String

About the Book

This book is a compilation of poems written for many reasons. Some were written for family and friends others written to accompany gifts while others were written from my life experiences and an overall sense of whimsey and child's play. I love music and many of the poems are quite lyrical especially those written with both children/adults in mind. I have always loved a lullabye and you will find them here along with more serious poems. There are so many poems that it was difficult for me to place them in their different sub books so you will not find an innate order springing from the poets subconscious sense but more of a concious ordering. The poet and the reader two minds that meet but not always in the same place.
