Poems are just expressions of life, therefore, life inspired these (simple) poems for different reasons. Everyday life brings forth everyday challenges, such as the death of a parent, a fond memory of a bygone era, daydreaming about a fun vacation on a beach, or just a ride on a train. Love, gas prices, and all types of weather bring their own challenges. A smell, a thought, chocolate, or an exciting event can all be interpreted in different ways by different people. These poems are just a small sampling of life's expressions.
