As a young girl, the author spent many hours writing. Her early stories and poems were saved over the years and, after they'd been in storage for many years, she took them out of their boxes, read them, made a few changes and used some of them in a blog to see if people would read them. They not only read them, but comments reflected that they liked them, too. So, with the urging of a good friend, she decided to put some of them together, first, in an e-Book and then, a Paperback to see, once more, how they were accepted by the reading public. Many are love poems, written at the time of life when hormones are raging - a time of discovery. Most are rhyming poems, which seemed to flow easily at that time. Fortunately, there are some who still like rhyming poetry, finding today's free verse and other forms difficult to appreciate. The author sincerely hopes these poems of her youth will be enjoyed.
