Written With Rhyme And Reason

“He did it without rhyme or reason” is an old saying we’ve heard many times in the past. When considering a title for my collection of writings, I realized that I had written poetry with rhyme and reason. Thus, the title and the layout for the book: the reason will appear on the left and the rhyme will appear on the right. I’ve been reminded that “this just isn’t done.” But, as my daughter, Susie, said, “Just because it isn’t done doesn’t mean that it couldn’t or shouldn’t be done. For instance, think of the art world. Doesn’t it enhance Wyeth’s painting, ‘Christina’s World,’ to know the story behind it?” I have sought to “catch the current in events” in the world and in our everyday lives. I have tackled everything from politics to puppy dogs. I invite you to consider then lament, laugh, or praise God with me.
