The Review Table of Contents for Satin Verses includes 15 poems comprising Potpourri 1, 7 poems found in Political/Social Comment, 3 Love Poem’s, 7 works inclusive to Population Explosion, and 13 Essays. Tiny Tyrant captures the essence of the lovely, tiny and lethal birds who surround my humming bird feeder. Sparkling Amy: the author’s poem for his six month old daughter is a treasure sure to touch the emotion of every parent. The author brought a smile to this reviewer’s lips with The (nasty) Boys of Summer anyone who has encountered the biters found in summer grasses will identify. To My Valentine is a lovely work filled with good suggestions for keeping marriage together. The Red Oak Thief allows the writer to vent his frustration when life hands him a sour moment, Antecedant Chemistry appealed to the genealogist in myself. Writer Waldrip furthers his writing prowess with this 92 page book of verse. Waldrip’s versatility is well showcased in this little volume. I believe my favorite of the works is Tiny Tyrant, Waldrip must have been hiding in my yard and watching the little feathered beasties as they battle for the feeders. Waldrip says in his preface that ‘writing poetry is a fun way to take a break from writing novels.’ Satin Verses is a very credible effort for filling that break from novel writing. Satin Verses is a perfect little book for a quiet afternoon. Happy to recommend Reviewed by: molly martin http://www.angelfire.com/ok4/mollymartin Title: . Satin Verses Genre: Poetry Author: .
