Blazing Stars Like Flaming Darts achieves two milestones:
  1. This is my 77th book of poetry and 100th book of various genre. There are one hundred (100) classical poems of love and romance, wit and wisdom, humor and comedy, advice and dissent, patriotism, social criticism, inspiration, history, and mystery.
  2. When this book is published, it means I will have published more than 5,000 poems, which by my count is 5,010.
One does not put that much effort and years of time into writing poetry unless one has an innate love and passion for the depth of meaning, hidden thoughts waiting to be discerned by others, and hunger for recognition in the poetic annals. Though I wrote a few poems over the years along with some music, I only began focusing on poetry as an outlet for heartfelt sentiment and soul searching philosophical and religious discoveries nine years ago. Until then I had military, diplomatic, foreign service, international trade and university teaching careers in succession.

Forty-five (48) of my poems have been published by the prestigious Society of Classical Poets of which I am a member. You may read them all by going to their website, clicking on the Member button, clicking on my name in blue and it will take you there. An additional twenty (20) were published under the Ukraine invasion invitation for poetry and five (5) for a St. Patrick's Day invitation to post poems.

You will find that I prefer to write as I teach - in a folksy style that is me talking to you. Examples of my personal development in the continual desire to improve my poetic presentations serve to amplify the points I wish to make while doing so in a style that is neither stilted, nor ostentatious. My primary desire is to communicate with each of you with clarity and without ambiguous ramblings.

My disdain for modern poetry without rhyme or disciplined presentations is equal to my distaste for modern art that is amorphous. Neither speak to my heart and soul. Afterall, isn't that what we are seeking?
