Poetry connects people through words, written or spoken. Poems allow events, ideas, and thoughts to be encapsulated into these words and to bring the author mind-to-mind with the reader or listener. These words express emotions, and feelings, and
draw attention to particular perspectives on life.This collection came about through events, places and people which created an
idea in the author's mind and which were then transcribed into verse. The poems became the Afterthoughts which stimulated
the words, and often occurred while dog walking.They are meant to be enjoyed, and occasionally to amuse. They illustrate part
of the author's life, and some of the things which matter most to him.
