PESKY POEMS is a collection of poetry I have written over the past twenty years or so. These poems were inspired by my lifelong love of poetry, and the events of life itself. They are a reflection of my time spent growing up, raising my own children, loves past and present, and friendships won and lost. Plus, animals play a large role too, the furry or feathered, and even a frog or spider is found within. It is my great hope that your will find meaning, be entertained, and perhaps inspired by these “Pesky Poems” and if so, be moved to share them with your friends, children, and loved ones. –-T. L.
