The picture was sent by a friend over the Internet. It is too good not to share, but it has nothing to do with this poem. I endeavor with this gentle entreaty to entice you, dear reader, to invoke Authorsden’s commercial facilities to acquire a copy of my very latest book of very readable poetry.


Poem Artwork

 

Gathered some poems posted last year,
Added some beauties not listed before,
Organized them, in categories to appear,
Added artwork to spice it some more.

In total are 100 poems and more,
168 page count beginning to end,
With book contents listed at fore,
Bio and catalog at the append.

Jacket made with pond picture took,
As sun fell away below tops of trees,
Reflection shuddered shimmering look
Upside down, cropped at the knees.

Added expository text, excerpt or two,
Bound hardcover for extra durability,
Set retail to cover wholesalers’ due,
With special price for friends at AD,

Autographed, and even an inscription,
Personalized if you want it that way.
I hope this simple book description,
Arouses your passion early today

To click 100 Sensible Reflections link,
And order ‘ere this session runs dry,
For eye opening blots of gorgeous ink,
Verses that stand and ask “Why?”

You’ll be glad you did when you do,
If not, just return it sometime soon,
Remuneration I will send to you,
And stay a friend for many a moon.

I wish that You sell a MILLION copies this Year! (Yes, I am very modest!)

This poem, "100 Sensible Reflections, the poem" is a magnificent poetic creation. It made me hear Napoleon Hill - "The Law of Triumph",- and OG Mandino, "The Greatest Sales Man in The World".

I am sure that Your sales' receipts will comply with my wishes.

I salute You, Sublime Poet!

May Your Journey remain a triumph.

Health and Wealth.

This is an excellent path for review. You keep everything open and only give the best possible reason to read the book. You're a superb marketing poet ya know that!!! Your wisdom is always in your words too. I enjoy your poetry leland. The picture too ...reminds me of one I have saved somewhere. I need to go fetch it and write a poem. As I recall it was inspiring as well.

Hold that thought, me sweet! When I say I'm counting my pennies, I am, in fact, being altogether specific as to the denomination being added up. The end of the "poorhouse tunnel" is up ahead and the light will blind me soon. Then, my purchasing power will be celebrated with me getting to own your book. I love the way you marched through this poem, completely unencumbered by the usual sales pitch... instead, it's entirely delightful. It did not, however, push me to wish to buy, nope! That decision is more about enjoying your way with words. When I can, I will, with pleasure! (smile) love ya back, katy xox.
