This delightful book of poetry fits well on the night table ready to read whenever the mood strikes. Unlike most modern, free verse, with its strange metaphors and convoluted wording, Reflections is easy reading, in the tradition of Joyce Kilmer, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Robert Frost. You will laugh when you recite, The Pumpkin Pie, or shed a tear while reading, The Orphan. Several romantic poems are scattered throughout this delightful book. Other verses are profound, contemplative or philosophical, covering life, death and the hereafter. Reflections is a perfect gift for a close friend or family member, especially on their birthday or wedding anniversary. It also serves as a great holiday gift.
