Odes, Goads, But No Toads: Poems for the Young and Once Young

By Steven Pusateri

Another collection of poems about life's joys and challenges intended to inspire hope and promote introspection. Most of the poems are in rhyming quatrains but there is also some free form verse and limericks. The poems range from the stress of being a dad of a teen-ager to whimsical characters that most readers can relate to. The topics are secular and not meant to lean toward any specific religion or political view. The author hopes the verse will motivate young readers to write in their own voice and find humor and ideas in everyday events.
