Blue Ridge Sunsets: a non-poet's poetry

By Mark Randolph Watters

Non-poets need love, too We may not have the mechanics of a Whitman or the insights of a Dickinson or the intrigue of a Poe, but onward we try, crafting our own brand of the art of poetry. Blue Ridge Sunsets strikes at the sensitivities of the 'everypoet', touching upon the elements of what moves each of us, perhaps not as eloquently as the greats of literature, but nonetheless real. Read on Inside are some ninety-nine "poems", most of which rhyme (heaven forbid ), though an honest attempt was made with each poem to avoid forced rhymes. Elements included are those of love, loss, sadness, gain, triumph, frustration, joy, God, eternity, humor, reminiscence, and wisdom. I try to avoid esoterica, as such tend to annoy, if not beguile, most of us. These are straight-from-the-heart poems, presented in simple language and imagery. I hope you enjoy these poems and find some level of connection with each.
