Poetry, like other forms of creative arts such as painting, music, sculpture etc. is a way for the poet to share life experiences - feelings, emotions, images - and thus express his or her personality. Most human beings (Earthians) have a desire to "be" with others and one of the ways this is done is through communication by whatever means are available. Poetry is one way of expressing one's self. The poems in this book offer glimpses into the poet's soul. They touch on a myriad of themes that are common to all who have undertaken the journey through this particular life in this place known as Earth. It is the author's hope that the reader will be able to identify with, to understand and perhaps to empathize with the various situations, dilemmas, conflicts, miseries, euphoria etc. that are shared by means of his verses. Glimpses is the author's first poetry collection of a non-limerick genre.
