The Football Poet: Poetry of a Life's Journey


Add your own review!

Overview

This poetry book is about my eyes informing my heart, my feelings informing my soul, and my passion being laid bare before my audience. It is not about structured thought, the rules and order of the day, but the raw and unbridled expression of the summoned word to paper, the spilling out of the essence of an existence on a vast and varied planet. It is the swan song of a life of accomplishments, not only of the physical cargo captured, but of the spirit, will, drive, and determination of emotions that powers us through a life lived.
