This book is a collection of poems that I wrote almost 40 years ago - as a young man in his 20's. Many of them were written while I was a wrangler on a beautiful dude ranch in Northeastern Oregon, called the Bar M. It's full of passion, tears, and examples of expanding awareness.

A great way to journal

I wrote these stories over 15 years ago as assignments for a long distance writing class I took through the mail. These assignments are just as I wrote them, showing the progression I made as my writing style (hopefully) improved.
