    About this ebook

    This playful collection of poems ranging from humorous, to thoughtful, to adventurous is anything but predictable. In this work you will find death, love, happiness and our place in the universe as much a theme and the subject for humor and introspection as rabbits, kitchen utensils, nerdy scientists and garbage day. This versatile blend of parody, free verse, syllabic verse, sonnets, cinquains and other poetic forms does not distract but adds to author's unique sound and voice. At once self effacing and impudent, contemporary yet archaic, absurd yet thoughtful, these lyrical tidbits challenge the readers preconceptions and expectations and create a colorful glimpse into this writer's world of words and ideas.
