Die Daily: DREAM, IMPROVE, ENJOY

THE INTRIGUING TITLE OF DIE DAILY CALLS FOR THE EXPLANATION THAT “DIE” IS AN ACRONYM FOR DREAM, IMPROVE, ENJOY. THE ELEVEN CHAPTER TITLES PROVIDE INSIGHT INTO THE SUBJECTS COVERED:

• WELCOME TO MY POETRY RIVER. I HOPE I DO DELIVER
• DAILY I DIE, THAT I DO TRY
• TO COMMUNICATE IS REALLY GREAT
• TAKE A WALK AND TRY SELF-TALK
• I DON’T MIND BEING BLIND
• REFLECT, CONNECT, AND RESPECT
• LET’S DELVE INTO THE TWELVE
• HUMOR OR RUMOR
• FROM MY PALS BOTH GUYS AND GALS
• OUR DANCE WITH ROMANCE
• I AM CAUGHT WITH A LITTLE AFTER-THOUGHT

MOST OF THE 95 POEMS ARE PRECEDED BY AN EXPLANATION OR STORY WHICH ADDS MEANING, UNDERSTANDING, AND OFTEN HUMOR. WHEN YOU READ WHAT I HOPE IS FOR YOU A BUOYANT AND EXCITING BOOK, YOU WILL KNOW ME RATHER WELL.

SAMPLE STANZAS FROM TWO SEPARATE POEMS FOLLOW:

I START EACH AND EVERY DAY
IN A POSITIVE AND JOYFUL WAY.
EACH MORNING AS I THROW BACK THE SHEETS,
THIS DAY I’M EXUBERANT TO GREET!

SO WHETHER YOU’RE YOUNG OR WHETHER YOU’RE OLD
TAKE TIME TO DREAM AND LET LIFE UNFOLD.
SET TIME ASIDE TO DREAM AND REST,
DREAMS WILL FILL YOUR LIFE WITH ZEST.
