Second Act Writings is an eclectic collection of poetry and prose. The writings encompass various rhyming schemes, free verse, and poetic forms. The author begins the second act in life with this eclectic compilation of views on love, life, hope, comedy, and tragedy. Poetic forms include Shadorma, Nonet, and Triolet, to name a few. Some writings were inspired by her life experiences and others are pure imagination. The hope is for a reader to connect with a word, thought or feeling inside the pages.

    I decided to read something different than I normally read. What I found is a fun, colorful, meaningful expression on many topics. I’m still reading but, it’s clear there’s a voice here and it brings glimpses of life in bite size pieces to my imagination.
