Poetry Is the Music of the Heart: For Those Who are Apart

By Roy E. Peterson

"Poetry is the Music of the Heart" is my 74th book of poetry and 97th book of various genre. There are one (100) classical poems of love and romance, wit and wisdom, humor and comedy, advice and dissent, patriotism, social criticism, inspiration, history, and mystery. Since I anticipate publishing this in April, I added a section for Easter.

You will find multiple meanings in most of my poems. I tell you this because I carefully construct each poem with multiple thoughts in my own mind. Even the preposition choices are considered, such as "in," "at," "by," or "on." Some of my poems are allegories with hidden objects and subjects in mind. I recommend a careful reading and then read them again to decipher not only my thoughts, but to choose your own meaning(s) that may be salient beyond even those I intended.

Sixty-four (64) of my poems have been published by the prestigious Society of Classical Poets of which I am a member. You may read them all by going to their website, clicking on the Member button, clicking on my name in blue and it will take you there. With this edition, my total poetry count is now 4,810.

Personally, I am an Award-Winning Singer and retired LTC, US Army, Military Intelligence and Russian Foreign Area Officer. I was the first US Foreign Commercial Officer in the Russian Far East and IBM Regional Manager in the same location. As one of the most educated men in America with 200 post-graduate hours and 3 Master's Degrees. I make no apologies for my logic and views on any subject you wish to name unless it is esoteric science.
