Cliché Poems: And Other Strange Novelties

Using cliché phrases in strange and unorthodox twists, this book of poems covers a range of topics from spiritual themes, to longing, to love and admiration, to philosophical ideas about time and existence. The author uses, and defends, a classical style of rhyming poetry while also showing some unique styles of rhythm, syllable count, and modern styled verse. The range of emotions, human feelings, and depth of thought help to convey some difficult ideas about Life and Reality in ways that may ease the pains of living in order to allow willing minds an opportunity for growth, insight, and freedom to think new thoughts about subjects that may appear at first glance to be cliché. Originally self-published in 2001 as the author's first collection of poetry, this new edition has an updated cover and easier reading format.
