Take a Thought...Wholesome and Good

By: Larry Troxel

Narrated by: David Kresser, Barbara Henslee

Far from being a poet of note or the wordsmith I wish to be, I’ve been flattered by others asking how I do it. Without the benefit of salient literary instruction, I’m urged to write, as providential inspiration may move while caring immensely about the outcome. I have learned that writing poems is cathartic and a wonderful laxative for the mind. Thus, to that question, I responded with the poem Take a Thought…Wholesome and Good to describe my way. That isn’t to say all poets follow the same creative pattern, and surely they don’t—I boast only of myself.

Very surprising from a book I thought was just about poetry

At first I was expecting, (roses are red and violets are purple..) This book is not just about poetry. It seems to me,, it’s a book about life experiences and resembles a poetic formula to it. I would give it a (MUST READ) rating. Great job to the author. You have truly written a masterpiece. Thank you for sharing your gift.
Truly your fan,
