Poetry For Living
Christian poems, Friendship poems, Inspirational poems

Welcome to Poetry for Living!

This website is designed primarily to provide inspiring poetry to encourage ordinary people in these trying times. The book Embers - Poetry for Everyday Living contains Christian poems, friendship poems and inspirational poems. The CD of the same title, provides the reader with the author's vocal interpretation and enhances the reader's understanding of every line.

Someone has said, prose is words in their best order but poetry is the best words in their best order. Not everyone likes poetry. To some it is corny. To others, especially to those who love literature and other art forms, it provides, in addition to aesthetic pleasure, inspiration to rise above the ordinary and appreciate this wonderful world, which God has created. Who cannot say there is beauty in those words... “How do I love thee, let me count the ways.” Who cannot wonder the meaning of “To be or not to be, that is the question.” Or who cannot want their life to follow “The Road Not Taken”!
