Raindrops and Lonely Roads

Eventually we all become Raindrops and Lonely Roads.

The poetry of Jeoffrey Meister is represented in the first part of this book as Raindrops. Raindrops are nature’s tears that come to us during the storms of our lives. For Jeff the storm was a tragic accident which left him forever struggling to regain lost time. His solace in that struggle has been his family and poetry.

Jack Meister’s writings and poetic observations appear under the guise of Dr. Professor Grantig, a cranky German, whose views of life leave him on Lonely Roads. His iconoclastic observations, written over a period of some forty years, are the result of the many changes he has seen in society and in the country. To him, the lonely road beckons as it beckoned to the German Romanticists.
