The Title Poem


Expelled from within, with each muscles’ squeeze
Nouns and pronouns along with a preposition or two.
Mingle with verbs, adverbs and colorful adjectives too
Reds and yellows mixed with brilliant orange hues, 
Flowing in streams, driven by a continual breeze.

While the method of conveyance is equal on each side,
Some opt to ride the cells going to the right,
The shy and secretive, for there is stability and safety there.
While the majority take the highway that leads to the left,
eager to move on, to experience the adventures that lay outside.

The right side filled beyond its capacity back a few years.
To the point where words and phrases long  hidden there
Began to wiggle and squirm looking for a way out.
Some were small and found the opening called the keyhole.
While others formed a chain, and slipped under the door.

The words and thoughts from the secretive and reclusive right,
Suddenly mingle and mix, some seeing their first rays of light.
Stories gel and form, often with characters totally new to me.
Poetry or prose, I never know which form of composition will show
When the words from the heart begin to flow.

Words from the Heart - Update - Contents

Words from the Heart

Now I am truly feeling excited.  I reviewed the proof this morning, and it looks great. Except for a minor adjustment in the cover placements so that it trims properly, I could have released the book this morning.  Now we will all have to wait one more day.

As promised yesterday I am releasing the Table of Contents page through this blog.  Plus as an added bonus, look for the title poem a bit later in the day on Google Plus.

Richard.

Words from the Heart - Back Cover

You've seen the fantastic front cover for Words from the Heart, now here is the back cover, and a bit of a sneak peak into my thought process as I selected the works to be included in this book.

There are a total of 32 poems, and at least one section of prose for each of the four sections of the book.  And for those that actually read, and not just look at the picture, I will release the Table of Contents page tomorrow via this blog.

The book is going through the review process at CreateSpace as I write this, and will be available through Amazon, Createspace, and by web-site before the end of the month.  Watch for links in a coming blog.
