The Old Corner Post

by T.A. Cline

This book consists of thirty poems and ballads. But, it is more than a book of poetry. It is life and all that comes with it, like the humorous situations that seem to find us when we least expect them. It has heart felt desire and eye opening experiences all brought on by the words in this book. Yet it is more than just words, it is the essence of life and who we are. You will be moved by this book in ways that may surprise you, from deep thought to joy, while looking at our relationship with more depth and sincerity. You will find your mind stimulated to unravel the symbolism that you will read in some of these poems. A few have been purposely written with the intent to leave a mystery to be solved. I hope you will enjoy the challenge and be lifted by the writing to great heights.

About the author

I am what you call a late bloomer, an old farmer turned author. If I had to describe myself, it would be, "A Christian Farmer Storyteller," if I could leave a legacy that would be good enough for me. I was sixty-three when I started to write my first novel, “Archomai, The Prince, The Scepter, And The Shield.” I have always wanted to write, and now I am seeing that dream come true. My third book was released this past fall 2015; it is a Christmas story, “The First Snowflake.” My first book published was a collection of poetry, the title, “The Old Corner Post.” It is a thirty-year collection of poems and ballads. My Christmas story for 2016 will be released December 6th; it is called, The Christmas Gate.

I have spent most of my life on the farm, and I do love working the land. There is a spirit of freedom on the farm that surpasses anything I have ever experienced. I have had many jobs, from truck driving to managing a plastic plant and most everything in between, but I always seem to drift back to the farm. I am truly blessed.

With my wife, our four children and six grandchildren, we live the country life. Our family is within twenty miles of each other, so we get together often. Family has always been important to me and gathering together especially on holidays is a high point of my life.

Thanks to the author for sending me a copy of this, along with my first reads win The First Snowflake :)

I'm not really the target audience for a book of poems, but I did enjoy reading through it. Some of my favourites are: The Winter Tree, The Ballad of Carl and Ab, My Rose, Hope's Heart the Journey to Free, and especially Rampaging Old Farmer which made me laugh out loud!
