{"product_id":"9781475965766","title":"More Rhyme and Reason: People Places Passion Purpose","description":"\u003cp\u003eWriting rhymes began in 1945, my senior year at Nebraska University. The students were preparing a stage production to celebrate the end of World War II. I was asked to write a song and sing it. I did it and my joy in writing rhymes began.\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp\u003eI don’t think I ever sat down just for the purpose of writing a rhyme. There was always a motive like birthdays or special events. The cover of my first book and this one really sums it up-People, Places, Passion, Purpose. It wasn’t very long that I learned my rhymes were best when inspired by God. The readers and time tell the most about a book. A priest that I know called to tell me that he read “The Parish Shepherd,” the first thing each morning. A second priest said he used the poem “TWO PLANS” when he spoke to a group of ladies.\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp\u003eIn this book More Rhyme and Reason, the poems came from the same kind of inspirations. One of the best I have written is first in this book, “The Politician.” Some poems are happy rhymes, for birthdays or anniversaries. Some are of places traveled. I like to write rhymes that teach and hopefully there will be fulfillment. If a poet inspired me in my student days it was Longfellow. I have always strived to achieve a message with perfect rhyme and meter. If any reader of my writing is entertained and gratified, I have achieved my goal.\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp\u003eEnjoy!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"iUniverse, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47144382857456,"sku":"9781475965766","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781475965766_p0.jpg?v=1763606989","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781475965766","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
