Memories 2 Keep

The Memories I Keep, Book 2

By: David Ritter

Narrated by: Charles Hield

Many of my poems and short stories chronicle a lifelong struggle with the ups and downs of everyday life. They are direct, full of a variety of emotions, and usually, have a message or meaning of social significance that most common folk can relate to. Rather than using complex imagery with flowery words, metaphors, and similes, I try to keep it simple.

Some poems have a personal meaning, others are only an idea, and some emerged from activities or challenges from a variety of writing avenues. Most of my poems rhyme because I like the challenge and they are, for me, simply more fun.

These writings, quite frankly, describe one man's beliefs and feelings about a world that is sometimes cruel. If Memories 2 Keep can help change someone for the better, with a tear or a smile, even if only for a moment, then this world is a better place for us all. And for that, I feel good.
