The Meaning of Me by Emmett Wheatfall


As I take to toil in hand
The finer points of pen
Deeper I delve
Into the meaning of me

 Wherein

I shall call to it
And it shall come
The meaning of me
It shall come
Emmett Wheatfall
Title: The Meaning of Me 
Author: Emmett Wheatfall
ISBN: 9780983723141
Publisher: Reflections Publishing House/2012
Pages: 98

 With a cover as poetic as this, one can only expect the best of poetry. Emmett Wheatfall does not disappoint us on any account. I could connect to his poetry despite being in another part of the world, having different cultural values.

 His world becomes ours because the journey he takes to find the meaning of me, is what we are seeking too....in the way of life, race, religion and the metaphysical. Somehow it all blends in with the physical world that we live in.

 The poems are simple enough but with depth of meaning. In the despair, one can still find pleasure. That is what he teaches us. Beyond Me reached out to me. 

I have read this book of poetry many a times and will continue to do so. Thanks to Emmett Wheatfall for sending this book of poetry to me.

    I don't know why I rarely read poetry.

    The cover is very pretty, but I don't read poetry sadly. Thanks for participating and enjoy.

    I'm not much for poetry, so I'd probably give this one a pass.
    Here's my mine...

    I love poetry, that is if I can understand it. And yes I would read this book.

    I also think I should read more poetry, my husbands wrote poems as a young man. The cover is indeed beautiful.
