This volume was created from poems written during a period, when I was writing at least one poem every day. I did this for over 1000 days.

A quick look at the contents of this volume reveals a possible deeper reflection period of my daily poem ritual, and a few surprises along the way. Many of the poems found here, end with a challenge, a question, or an idea for you to consider. That is probably the case, with every poem that I have written.

It is believed that there is something here for everyone. If not now, then may be another day, another month, another year, even another life. Which poems are for you? Now that is a question, that only you can answer, and there is only one way to find out.

That is enough from me. It is hoped that you will find what follows of value, of interest, and worth pausing and pondering.

I now invite you to read Volume Nine of “The Definitive Collection.”
