Anthology of My Own Poems


Book Description

Looking for that open door Slightly ajar to begin with, we are all looking for and finding goals slightly out of grasp Losing a grip of a loosely held clasp And in the end losing it all, watching it all slip away in the reality of the cold light of day Isn't life like that? Terry Powell has been penning poetry for nearly twenty years. Now he shares the entirety of his work in one collection that offers inspiration for everyone. Powell’s diverse poems reflect on his personal experiences, true events, and moments in time. He explores a variety of subjects and themes that include naughty children, the deliciousness of chocolate, an old, forbidding house, the climb up a craggy mountain face, the joys of first love, the spectacular colors of the autumn season, and the veteran soldiers who helped transform the course of history. Anthology of My Own Poems shares the entirety of one man’s original writings as he lyrically explores his experiences, thoughts, and life itself.
