Imagination is a great part of every one of us. We set and day dream about things fantasying the way we see them occurring. In this book of poetry I have taken imagination, history and our everyday life experiences, mixing them and putting them into stories. This book "Truth Is," has come from those dreams. This not abstract poetry and a person reading will understand what message is being delivered in the numerous poems. I want the reader to enjoy and dream of things that happen to each one of us in our lives. In this book you will read stories of happiness and sadness. In the poem, "Willie Cane," the locations are real and the characters fictional. In "Making a Name," you will get parts of history and a fictitious but interesting outcome to a well known holiday in the City of Mobile. You will find sadness in "Karley and Me, and Two Sisters Together," along with humor in "Little Arnold Gets the Ball." "Someday," will give a life's perspective and "Angels Kiss," talks of love. There are many other stories, dreams and words of encouragement that I hope you will find enjoyable to read. The book contains stories in verse form about life, love and humor. I have tried to tell of things that I have heard about and some that have happened too me. Most of them are just, imagination, with lots of fantasy, history and fiction. I hope that you will find some of these works entertaining and some useful in your everyday life.
