This playful collection of poems ranging from humorous, to thoughtful, to adventurous is anything but predictable. In this work you will find death, love, happiness and our place in the universe as much a theme and the subject for humor and introspection as rabbits, kitchen utensils, nerdy scientists and garbage day.This playful collection of poems ranging from humorous, to thoughtful, to adventurous is anything but predictable.

No, no really. I honestly thought this was a clothing optional area….As I said in the opening, creative expression is an intense means of learning - you open yourself up to the criticism and ridicule you thought you had long ago learned to avoid in middle school.
