Does it free him from his ghosts or does it just bring him a moment of peace? Does it really matter? This is the second in a planned series of stories from The Painted Door, a fictitious neighborhood bar in Wichita, Kansas, although the location is not important. The human drama is universal, as are the characters. To purchase this book: Smashwords: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/286989 Amazon Kindle: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BHKF7IM |

Two Dozen Visions
David H. Keith In this small collection of poems, arranged as an orchestral symphony, David H. Keith explores love and general observations of the human condition. He even adds a chuckle or two as a bit of respite between these two larger themes. His poems are mostly “nontraditional” in that they are unrhymed and each carries its own rhythm rather than being forced into sonnet or lyric or ode. He does make one exception: an Italian form known as a sestina. He challenges the reader to recognize which of his poems it is.
