Looking Around
Closing in on eight decades of life gives one dramatic pause, a time for a deep
breath then a long exhale, realizing how little time is left but grabbing a chance
to reflect on all that has gone before; a time when one can stop, listen take a step back and
look around. These poems jumped out at Jim R. Rogers from his
experiences of living, observing, applauding and worrying about the
complexity of the world today. Following his first book of free
verse poetry on the thematic process of growing old, Starts
And Stops Along The Way, this new book, Looking Around,
is a collection of personal views that lament the injustices,
disappointments, fruitless searches for answers, while seeing
hope for some tomorrows, gratitude for much, yet still
worrying about the direction of a society in which morals, meaning
and purpose seem more difficult to find. These are not lecture or judgmental poems, but rather
challenges for deeper thinking, for determined efforts to save our
planet, to sustain a way of life that has worked well for many,
and to improve a way of life for many others placing us all
together on a solid road to our future.
