(Soft-Cover Print) A book of selected poems and stories by me, Cliff Rhodes. This is the second edition of my poems and is now finished. This book contains all of the 2007 poems, a few stories, and the writings of 2008. I designed my own cover. It is a copy of a water color painting of one of the aloe vera plants that grow plentifully in my house. I hope you enjoy reading my poems as much as I have enjoyed writing them. Love heals and makes all things new.
