I am an American poet from Texas and I have a book published in English language titled: Other Worlds in Other Words. This is a collection of eclectic poetry not centered on my daily thoughts and feelings, but more about the unseen worlds which may exist just moments or inches away from our own present dimension. The poetry is more conventional than it is contemporary and uses language and style that is both rich in imagery and poetic devices. The lines are carefully constructed using punctuation and spacing in appropriate places throughout the verses and stanzas. My life is a product of the 1960’s in America and I write about many unresolved events which have continued to affect myself and others in the United States as well as those which are changing our planet. I prefer writing about spiritual experiences over less complex subjects, however you will read many poems in my books about my past relationships and some about my happy marriage of 25 years to my lovely wife who has served as my muse in many of my poems. I have a website where my books can be read about and purchased. Feel free to visit: jerrylovelady3@gmail.com.

tries to wake the napping sun.
He signals the frogs
and crickets...

Charles Dickens' Desperation Inspiration

The children are hungry
the cupboard is bare
when, oh when will the lightning strike?

The inkwell is caked
with black ooze and despair
when will the saving light shine?

Naked white parchment
virgin leaf breathlessly awaits
what shall...
