So Many Places and other Poems

I wrote this book of poetry with children in mind, although adults may enjoy my sense of humor as well. There are many images in this book and the accompanying poem was written specifically for that image.
I have used some experiences from my own youth to write these poems, but I did exaggerate scenes and themes to make them more enjoyable to a younger audience. I believe poetry should be fun to read at an early age and not be restricted to tight poetic rules. Most of my poems are free verse...
