90 Days Ferman D Thornton Jr

Throughout my life poetry has played an important role in allowing me to express my emotions. From being a young teenager in love, to pouring out my fears and insecurities as a mature adult. Poetry has been central in keeping my perceptions and focus clear. Here is a collection of some 90 poems that I have written over the last few years. I wish I could present a broader collection of my work over the last forty years, but time and circumstances have caused those pieces to be lost forever. Also, within this book are some selected works from my best friend of over forty years Sandra Burnsed. Our relationship on the surface would seem complicated if not impossible. Growing up on the banks of the Ogeechee River outside Savannah, Georgia. We spent our entire lives hovering between being brother and sister, boyfriend and girlfriend, and lifelong friends. Leaning on one another in times of happiness and sorrow. Considering our history, this book wouldn't be complete without including some of her work. It is my hope that some of the words in this book will resonate with your situation. Far too often we journey through this world feeling all alone. While I can't say that my words hold any answers, I can say I empathize and that I understand.
