I Wrote this Poetry Book Because My Friend Told Me It Would Be Easy

By Luke Schroeder

This poetry collection contains themes relating to nature, the student experience, family illness, and personal growth. What started as a simple goal to test a friend's claim, evolved into something deeply personal and transformative. This edition contains 42 poems written over the past 3 years of my life spent as a medical student, son, friend, and enthusiast for life. Poems are arranged chronologically to time of writing in order to preserve the emotional spectrum present in day to day life over time. Makes a great gift for the whole family, especially anyone with a pulse.

"17. An Improvement

If only I were bound
Stuck as one so small
Fears simplified
Forced to be present
No future to dread
Free to wander
No expectations
Climbing trees
Breathing fresh air
Eating nuts and seeds
Building a home
Living on a branch
Covered in fur
I envy the squirrel"
