Have you ever loved, been loved, been confused about love, or suffered from loss of love? All these feelings have been captured and shared in the words of heartfelt poems, compiled over many years by a former teacher and award-winning author.Sherrill S. Cannon now shares her thoughts in this book of feelings. 'As a teacher, I used poetry to help counsel many troubled teens and friends, and have continued this pattern throughout the years.'There are three sections in her book: Heads, Spinning, and Tails ... (Love & Loss: Coin Toss?). The variety of lyrical poetry forms include free verse, blank verse, haiku, and sonnets. Some poems are simply plays on words.A SignIn the depths of my winterI heard a small bird -Braving the cold,Bringing the word.He gave my heart hopeAs I heard him sing -Three little notesPromising spring. Sherrill S. Cannon, a former teacher and grandmother of 10, is the author of nine acclaimed rhymed children’s stories that have received 48 national and international book awards between 2011 and 2017. Also a playwright with seven published plays for elementary school children, her works have been performed internationally in over 20 countries. Most of her children’s books try to teach something, such as good manners and caring for others. Married for 57 years, she and her spouse are now retired, live in Pennsylvania, and travel in their RV from coast to coast, spending time with their children and grandchildren.
