... Stratus clouds disguise, Ivory sheets hang On chalky skies, Incandescent. Painters paint, Plein Air, Artists on the pond. Pigment splashes on canvas. Land, air, light respond ... Herb Wolf is a seasoned poet whose works are influenced by the raw beauty of Mother Nature. In his first collection of published poems written over a span of forty years, Wolf reflects on a variety of tangible themes and subjects that have defined his existence. Within poems influenced by Robert Frost, Wallace Stevens, and many others, Wolf lyrically explores the passage of time as he entered and exited several decades of life as well as the not-so-forgotten memories surrounding fishing trips, experiences with family and friends, the deaths of loved ones, and decades spent with his soul mate, Lynne. Credo is a volume of verse that leads others through one person's experiences and reflections of a life well lived as he observes and perceives Mother Nature's omnipotence.
