You May Think Life Stinks

But It Could Be Verse

by

Steven C. Stoker

Look through any neighborhood, pick out any random country farmhouse, search through any military barracks, screen any school enrollment sheet and you can find them - "closet" poets! They scribble their innermost thoughts down in notebooks, on envelopes, even on napkins and then stash them away in secret places! Why? Because those sentiments are a part of them - a part they want to recall later, whenever they feel the need to relive those treasured moments, recapture the emotions, and savor those extraordinary experiences again.

Such poetry runs the gamut from horrendous to brilliant, but that does not matter. The quality of the work is unimportant! What is important is that someone out there has chosen the written word to create a literary "painting" that tries to capture a moment in time and space to save it for posterity. You May Think Life Stinks But It Could Be Verse is a collection of one man's meandering psyche. It may contain a lot of chaff but an occasional precious kernel of can be found - a kernel that might just nourish the reader's psyche as well. Read, enjoy, and share the feelings! You can then leave the analysis to the critics!

This compilation of rhyme and verse grew from a lifetime of notes and scribblings; things that might never have been shared if not for my mother's encouragement to publish some of it. I hope you will give it a chance. Please contact the publisher and purchase a copy for yourself. It is not one of those high-brow projects, but just some old-fashioned verse, well-designed especially for those who do not even like poetry. It is available only from the publisher and, unlike my other books, is not for sale at Barnes & Noble, Amazon.com, or other "brick and mortar" outlets. Give it a chance.  It might just bring a smile, a tear, or even both!
