I've been writing poems for better than fifty years. Like other folks, I'v had my ups and downs. For some reason, when I get something on my mind, good or bad, it stays there for a while..I found that if I wrote it down in the best and fewest words possible, it helped me to get it off my mind. The result was a poem. I've written poems and thrown them away or lost them. I've kept some of them for fifty years or more. In thie book is maybe one in four of all I've ever written in my life. It's my hope that from time someone will read one of my poems and say, "Ah yeah. I've been there. Done that. or maybe, "Well, I never thought about it like that." If that should happen to you, I'd appreciate it if you'd drop me a line to: Lenzie Myers P.O. Box 22 Zalma, Missouri 63787 and tell me or lenzie myers@yahoo.com P.S.Don't let the name Lenzie fool you. When I was a baby thats name was given only to little boy babies. So you'll find me male and not female as I've often been mislabeled.
