Mystery Has an Accomplice Roy E Peterson

With this volume, the author is approaching a milestone of 2,000 published poems. Every volume contains at least ten sections with ten poems in each. This one is no exception. There has become a loose-fitting pattern of an extensive array of poetry. Classic ardent love and sensitive romance are found in the first two sections, followed by poems about fascinating life experiences and elegantly-phrased humor. In this volume contemplation and advice come next, then delves into the realm of the mysterious and revealing proclivities of the author. Finally, the book is anchored in political and social commentary and concludes with heaven felt verse. I was tempted to call this "Dreams of You from Shakespeare II," however, I must leave such judgment of belonging to the exquisitely elite to you the reader and posterity. I did include another Love Sonnet in Shakespearean format, which I count worthy of the master along with more general sonnets and praised poems. For the critics among you, my wide range employed is not only in subject matter, but in level of interest from those who delight in the light and easy to understand airs to those who enjoy the entangling of semantics with alternative meanings.
