THE EVOLUTION OF TOMORROW

by JIM BATES

Contemplating the moon on a frigid winter night. Birdwatching in the rolling hills outside of town. Planting a garden and watching it grow. The poems in this collection reflect Jim’s love of the natural world and his belief that Nature can help heal a wounded spirit. They are short, four or twelve lines in length. They are rhymed on the second and fourth lines. And they are very accessible. Check out: Home In my mind I jumped a train For a vacation way out West But I turned around after a real short while Back home to the place that I love the best. Or: Frigid Magic In the frigid freezing morning The sun rose frosty and bright And shone across the snowy land Reflecting prisms of sparkling light. When it comes right down to it, the poems in this collection are simple contemplations on the joys and challenges of living in this hectic day and age. They are meant to be read in quiet moments and enjoyed for their simplicity. Hopefully, they will enrich the reader’s spirit. And put a smile on their face.
