{"product_id":"9781469155722","title":"Shades of Man","description":"Poetry should come from the heart, it is not mechanical nor is it always sweet and sunny just as our lives are not always so. I have had people say my poetry is not very subtle. I am seldom a subltle person. Emotions are not subtle but raw and real. I can still feel the kiss of a remembered lover as if it were happening now. How intense is the pain of loss that causes our heart to slip into the darkness.  Below are some comments on a few poems from other poets.   TO CATCH THE WIND  that is very beautiful heart felt poem...a love that is worth everything even just for a few moments, even if you know it might not last...     WONDERING ABOUT THE DAUGHTER  So sad, but lovely. I loved your memories you painted into this   WHEN WE MEET I hope I feel that way again one day - thank you for reminding me that I once did.","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47126111256816,"sku":"9781469155722","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781469155722_p0.jpg?v=1763698651","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781469155722","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
