Hourglass and Other Poems | Free Book
James L. Clark
The poems in this collection have to do with the passing of time-its
relentlessness, speed and events-and people facing sadness, humor,
joy, social upheavals such as wars, inequities, corruption, goodness,
apprehensions about life and death, love, hatred, dreams,
disappointments, fears, injustices, blessings, sacrifice, sloth,
industriousness, physical impairments/strengths, spirituality, God,
worry, specific battles in various wars, elation, jealousy, greed,
generosity, meanness, aging-in short, the everyday
happenings/abstractions that, totaled, simply make life what it is for
everyone, both individually and collectively. While the book includes
both free verse and traditional poetry as defined consensually, most
of the poems feature rhythm and rhyme, not the sing-song type of
thing, but serious and consistent style presenting subjects in a
manner conducive to reading them aloud and remembering. Though this is
a departure from the styles mostly in vogue today, it features form
that has withstood the testing of time while demanding more of the
creator, just as in the case of classical music-perhaps an interesting
change of pace for the reader.
