This small collection of poems accumulated between 1960-1975. I use the word accumulated because that is what they did. I did not set out to write a poem because I cannot do that – sit down and write one at a moment's notice. I know people who can. Many of the ones that are in this collection just happened all a sudden – that urge to put something down and there it is. What I have written just 'bubbled' up from somewhere. So, there are poems here that are thoughtful, sad, humorous, never puzzling or whatever adjectives you the reader would use to describe them. Some rhyme (a difficult task for me), most do not. Some are short, others are long narratives. Some children will like, and maybe adults will like that type, too.
Baron Munson is not a professional poet. Nor does he claim to be. He has enjoyed a fifty-four year career in public schools and universities. He is also an author/editor of several Civil War books. This book of poems is unique in that none of the poems were written on purpose – something was seen, something was thought about, and much later a poem surfaced, found life on a sheet of paper, and accumulated with others between 1960-1975.
