Everyday Pocket Poetry is made up of the everyday experiences of the author. Life is full of happenstance, and as hard as we try, we cannot organize our life completely. As a result, the unusual, the unintended, the surprises come into play each day for us. We can either get worried and anxious about what happens or we can look at the unexpected as an opportunity to find fun or, more seriously, find a place to find insight and adventure. The poems in the book are some of the opportunities I had to laugh, cry, think, enjoy, and love. I hope you can find these things in the book and in your own life.
