    About this ebook

    These poems were published between 1972 and 2015. They are not in chronological order There is a general flavor to the selection based on the book title, Parallels. The poems present general themes as parallels. Such themes as happiness and sadness or the need for change and the inability to change are explored in various contexts. While they are not grouped together in such fashion, a casual reading will reveal them. A more detailed reading will further disclose the shades of differences . The author is grateful to all the editors who found something in each poem worthy of their publications. It is hoped that one or more of these poems will open an avenue of truth for the reader.
