Our American Lives, Volume 3 Keith S Harris

VOLUME 3: 100+ POEMS!I've always been of the belief that poetry shouldn't be elitist, but instead should be a medium that all can enjoy without scholarly interpretation. Take away "Roses are Red", and a certain limerick about a gentleman from Nantucket, and I'm afraid many of us would be hard pressed to recite a poem of our liking, that wasn't learned by rote during our school days. So what's my "go to" style you may be asking? It's definitely rhyme poetry, and my subject matter is as broad and deep as the world we live in. I am fascinated by everything, and my curiosity continually leads me to write on new topics. My commitment is to craft a story of interest on the particular topic. I am obsessive in choosing the right combination of words, and creating it within a tight rhyme format. My goal is that it's a pleasurable experience for the reader, being easy to follow, and rewarding to read. So now, celebrating forty years of writing poetry, and with hundreds of poems to offer, I have decided to begin sharing my collection.
