AppId is over the quota
This is an excellent book of poems by Cedric L. Jones. I truly like the way he articulated the language of poetry in this text. When I first picked up the book and looked at the cover, I thought it would be about the Green man of the forest; however, I have found it deeper that the Green man of the Forest. I also thought it would be about the army as a unit wearing green, where everyone is all about an army of one. However, it is much further.
The poem, "The Lazy Days of Summer," is one to drift away with especially with eyes closed. It will take you on a journey of butterfly and carpet rides. This is very memory refreshing. Additionally, "In The Mist," is equally refreshing. These leave one with adventure in the heart of taking that step outside the comfort zone and into another dimension where life has a different perspective.
Jones appeared to be opening his heart regarding love in this wonderful book. In the poem, "And I'm Alone," we find verses as such. "What is Love?" enhanced the tone with a series of rhetorical questions. "I Still Keep Holding On' is emblematical of the fact that he will not give up on love, and "Dear Daddy" further break the images down for all to understand. One will find the poem entitled, "Green," on page 31, which show green to be an integral part of the whole.
The book is divided into two parts. The first part is "From the Mind." It is right on point with the theme. The 2nd part is entitled "Some Boys Do," which has a different message from the former.
There are some wonderful list styled poems in the latter section, and/or poem with the list techniques incorporated; such as, "Fingerprints" and "Sigh." The rhetorical question techniques raise many life challenging questions in the section, and the emphasis on the dash is also used to highlight answers and thoughts. Finally, the poems are centered to the left margin, which makes it easier for the eye to follow and read.
This is a most wonderful book to read. It is highly recommended.
