�Preposthumous Poetry� is an extraordinary collection of thoughtful poems, with a myriad of hitherto unimagined themes, intended for all thoughtful readers (not just poetry lovers), and especially for those who are curious and open to new ideas and unique insights, skillfully expressed via delightful, rhyming verses. Inspired by Nature, and by the author�s wish to share his inspirations, thoughtful views, and heartfelt feelings with humanity, this book is full of memorable poetic gems. It will astound readers with the wide range and scope of the topics explored, and with the fascinating information being artfully delivered to bemused readers, who may wish to reread many of these thought-provoking poems, pausing to consider the messages they convey, and even sharing some of them with loved ones. This book is a revelation! By exploring many aspects of the natural world and of the human experience, it is an adventure of the mind, body, and spirit! Some poems, though based on factual events and the author�s in-depth contemplation of them, have astonishing implications that are likely to leave a lasting impression on readers.
�PREPOSTHUMOUS POETRY�- A gifted poet takes his readers on a journey through unimagined realms of thought, exploring topics hitherto unvisited by his predecessors, identifying wonders, limitations, complications and barriers, revealing connections, insights and possibilities that are a revelation, and that can leave a lasting impression on readers of these thoughtful, tightly-constructed, rhyming verses. While some poems are the products of deep thought, others express the poet�s heartfelt feelings. All provide fascinating ideas, skillful word wizardry, little-known historical accounts, entertainment, inspiration, enlightenment, personal observations, musings and reflections, vital messages and suggestions, inferences and deductions, remarkable conclusions, �incredible� facts, commentaries on life and the human experience, amusing jabs at some human foibles, pop songwriting misconceptions, unintended consequences, thoughts about loving relationships, age-old human concerns, an award-winning riddle, and possibly, the best short love poem ever conceived!
Readers will be amazed by the range of topics, from the sublime to the commonplace, from a rap summary of American history, to why children ask �Why� questions, from what we�re made of (stardust!), to what household dust�s made of, even to what �is� is (we don�t �know,� anymore!),
and to why plastics are a problem! Although alphabetically presented and categorized, some poems defy any classification! Inspiration for these poems has come from many sources, in and out of this world! This poet�s intact pre-TV imagination and poetic muse haven�t set any boundaries to what topics could be explored and delineated, in poetic verse. This has led him to some intriguingly possible explanations for events and circumstances that have affected humans throughout history. Through poetic imagery, readers will learn things they�ve never thought about! They�ll discover a world of ideas that may never have crossed their mind, things they�ve not been told before, told in interesting ways that inform, without being boring, of how Nature�s workshops continually perform miracles, how survival�s aided by �programmed� death, how and why differing �worldviews� can wreak havoc! They�ll be enthralled by a poem about the timeless enrichment of Art, �What we�ve got, other species have not,� told of the value of �true value creators,� of capitalism�s �greatest good,� and of the disaster wrought by stock market analysts� predictions about the future dividends of stocks, of the possible causes of �gender confusion,� of how Earth�s fury can transport souls, and how Nature may recycle them! This book�s a sojourn into the many levels of a thoughtful man�s unique mind, guiding his readers through a �museum� of his intellect. Poetry lovers will enjoy and respond to this poet�s �magnum opus,� a book of poems written during his last career (teaching, age 66-75), after spending much of his life attending colleges, learning how to continue to be useful to America, before and after the Cold War. He brings a new, concise writing style to his often strikingly unusual poetry, with hopefulness and an inspirational poetic vision of how we might shape our future for a better world. Visualization can lead to realization, as in �Visualizations, Past &Future� wherein it states that this poet-teacher-engineer had invented the encrypted PIN �keys,� thus enabling the ATMs that have made the world�s
