A Kiss from God Timothy Paul Neller

Poetry is a unique way of painting pictures with words and attempting to capture the essence of life, thoughts, and emotions within the framework of written language. Although free verse has become increasingly popular, utilizing the concept of a predetermined plan of form, structure, and rhyme challenges the poet to conceive of methods, which will heighten the effect of the theme he presents, the thought he provokes, and the emotions he hopes to evoke. It is for this reason that these poems are predominately written in the form of sonnets, with only a handful deviating from that form. The range of content of these poems range from the absurd to the sublime and intended to solicit no more from the reader than an experience of sheer delight, as well as profound moments of reflection.
