Description
Poetry is not as popular as it was at one time. It is not as popular as it should be. Far too many contemporary writers seem to be more interested in trying to impress the reader rather than involving them.
If you have put poetry aside because you found it to be boring, overly abstract or overly intellectual, then you probably have plenty of company.
I wrote SHADOWBYTES with you in mind. Most of the poems actually rhyme and have some sense of meter. Because I use the realm of human experience as a theme, I"ve never been short on subject matter.
Within the pages of this book, you will find poems relating to religion, philosophy, history, relationships and psychology written with a message in mind. I hope you find something within these pages that stirs you. Most of all, I hope I"ve rekindled your interest for poetry.

"I have always enjoyed writing, especially poetry. All writing lends itself to interpretation, but poetry serves this purpose best. It is in the interpretation that makes poetry personal for everyone." Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Shadowbytes (William McCoy)
