Collection of Poetry
By John Pinelli Jr.

John Pinelli Jr. introduces his original garden of poetry this way: My father had a large backyard with many trees and flowers. That's where I wrote my poems about nature....The rest of my poems were written through my experiences and some of the things I learned about in life.

From PATIO:
I'm sitting on the patio waiting for the dawn.
The trees will be beautiful up and down the lawn;
the flowers, too, will be a sight to see.
I'm waiting patiently for everything to come together for me.
As a poet you have to appreciate what I write
for the day begins for me while it's still night.
As I look at the sky it begins to light,
the birds begin to sing, and make the mood just right.
It's five o'clock in the morning and it's a beginning of a new day.
I lay down my pen for there's nothing left to say.
