Life's Ups & Downs: Poems That Make You Laugh & Cry

I wrote these poems spontaneously to express deep feelings of pain, disappointment and love always accompanied with a lot of faith and hope for help to receive from above. I also use humor and describe different situations and individuals, especially our dog, Turbo (Yogie). I always take time to make my poems rhyme. On some of the pages you will find images of paintings or drawing that I have created or photographs that I have taken. Just like the art I create, my poems are inspired by real life. Some from my own experiences and most of them from other people's lives that I know or have heard. They describe real feelings that will evoke my readers' sensitivity and empathy. I made certain to include humor because life, even though it gets hard and painful, it has it's funny side that we should think of when things get tough. Also, to soothe the pain we give importance to faith, hope and love from above. I thought my rhymes keep the consistency in these poems and make them interesting enough to keep reading until the end of the book. Also encourages anticipation of my next book.
