To read a blurb is quite absurd for a poetry book like this:Adventure galore, ironical score, drama and a lover’s bliss,Words from the heart, a legitimate start, regrets and agony too.Reflections abound, lost siblings found, only to mention a few.Remembering the past, dreams that last, not to be missed for quids,Cleaning the pool, using the tools, and don’t forget the kids!
