MOMENTS OF REFLECTION: A Month of Poetry

At odd moments of the day and night, a word or an idea springs to mind. Often a poem is composed there and then. Inspired by personal experiences, each poem reflects the thoughts of the writer. There is sadness, insight, and humor. The topic is usually the result of events, worries, and fears that in this life are bound to take place. There might be moments of pessimism but the conflict always resolves itself, somehow. A moral is often drawn -- usually of the self-help type. The poet is a believer in happy endings.
