James Ray Wilson - Taking a Peek ... poetry cracking the door

These poems are
tracks marking the
happy meandering path
of ongoing discovery ...

This book is dedicated to

all sensitive people

, who tempered by compassion

and

common

sense,

are willing to express their feelings truthfully and

honestly.

My work as a poet is to take reality, mix it with imagination, stir vigorously

create my

rhythmic interpretations as truly and boldly as I can.

If you come to one of my readings I will tell you that I am a graduate of the

Winnie

the Pooh

school of poetry. Pooh only had two rules for writing poetry:

(1) Go

where the Poetry and

Hums

can find you and (2) when they come let

them come

and that includes words like shillings.

So I

have. Sort of.

Making an exorbitant living for my family to have the financial wherewithal to

eat,

live, and be

entertained and educated at a level that has agreed with

them has cut

down significantly in my

going in search of Poetry and Hum sites.

Sometimes, when words have wanted to come in that would have been much

questionable

to Piglet than shillings, I have slammed the door and

proceeded to

seek alternative

reputation

and persona saving linguistics.

Violating a Pooh rule and

messing up some good

poems.

But I am getting better. I now have three books of poetry exposed. Two

hundred

forty plus

poems trying to tell the truth as I see it. Varnished slightly.

I hope you will buy the book. I hope you will read it. I hope you will talk to me

about it.
