Backli Palms and Sidewalk Dreams are the poems of a laid back poet from Southern California. They are written in expressionist style. I have often been called the Van Gogh of Poets.
An expressionist style work of colorful poems about life. A positive and upbeat work. It allows the reader to imagine a beautiful place and be in the environment of the poem.
Excerpt
Moments in Time
Pink fingers of light
abound in the fading twilight.
Shades of lavender and mauve
make a little cove.
Welling up from the sea
the flames of sunset beam.
Shades of blue are mixed
when all is fixed.
Fixed in a moment of time.
This unique sunset reminds
that nothing is permanent,
just moments in time.

Greenbelt Kaleidoscope
Sweet magnolia blossoms,
Perfume the air,
Edging this tiny urban greenbelt.
An oasis of peace, on these busy streets.
Wrought iron benches
Surround the perimeter,
Seemingly capturing this sweet fragrance.
Providing a combination of natural and manufactured elegance.
Its center, a kaleidoscope
Of cobblestones.
Swirling, a guidepost,
From the past, to present and for the future.
Its limitless horizons
Are made possible
By the perfect symmetry
Of this tiny greens cape.
Born last century,
Its timelessness, a tribute,
To the creativity
Of a romantically inclined people.

This person's poetry is poorly written and the person is an avowed racist. The work and the author turn my stomach.You would only be wasting your hard-earned money on this one at best.

These poems seem amaturish and mediocre at best. 'Van Gogh of poets'? I don't think so...unless your intent is to insult Van Gogh!
If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
