Rhymes and Reasons Roy Blokker

Once upon a time, every poem rhymed. This volume combines poems, photographs, and a short series of essays to explore and celebrate rhyming, light verse, and poetry itself. Remembering that "light verse" does not have to be frivolous, the poems herein run the gamut between humorous and serious, from candy bars to Kandahar. These are short, tasty, one-at-a-time morsels, like a box of chocolates. Take them one at a time or in bunches and enjoy!
