Reason And Rhyme

Done For Myself
You'll find my poems rhyme
Most all of the time
Though rhyming may not be in fashion
I write to express
And not to impress
Not trying to earn your compassion
You’ll like it or hate it
I doubt you’ll debate it
It’s not worth the effort I’m sure
My muse is depression
Verbal decompression
Is my effort to work toward a cure
I write for myself
If this sits on a shelf
And never gets read---so be it
But you might want to try it
You may even buy it
To learn if you view life as I see it

About the Book
This book reflects the author’s thirty-five year evolution from self-conscious teenager to confident and happy middle-aged woman. Her poems are personal short stories about love found and lost, daunting challenges and small victories plus humorous and slightly cynical observations on human behavior and more. You will even find a rhyming vocabulary lesson or two. Many of Maggie’s poems are childish and whimsical as Shel Silverstein and some dark and forboding as Edgar Allen Poe with a little taste of everything in between. Miss Gunn is very clever yet philosophical and sometimes just downright goofy. You will see yourself and others in many of her poems and be entertained by her unique perspective on many subjects.
About the Author
I have known Maggie ever since she was a silly girl locked away in her bedroom wearing headphones. She was more comfortable listening to music than talking to people.Just because Maggie was shy and quiet doesn't mean she didn't have a lot to say. She pretended to fit in by being humorous thus she has a well-developed wit. Thoughts she really felt she chose to express writing poetry. Maggie finally learned she was not crazy, just depressed. At last she has the confidence to share her collection of poems on love, loss, human nature and an unusual perspective on life. Read her stuff and you will learn why I like her so much. I think you will too.
