This is a book of general poetry for families. There are poems about animals, romance, love and lost love, grief, sadness, humor, and people. Some of the poems cannot be placed into a class. They are just miscellaneous. Most of these poems rhyme--there are a few that dont. I think some of the poems will be enjoyed by children. So read and enjoy, and if you like them--then read them again. Thanks much for looking and if you buy the book, thanks again. Patricia Leonaitis, RN, ret. and poet.
