Skip Hughes, a former president of Northeast Texas Writer's Organization, has a new book of poetry out this year. Chuckleberry Chutney. One poem, Is My To-It Really Round? made me laugh as I am the proverbial procrastinator he has so eloquently summed up.Skip's philosophy comes through loud and clear in his poem Love's Crucible. This poem stopped me in my tracks and made me think.
On page 59 Between Black and White is a poem we should all take to heart. I really must write the final stanza.
We must yet strive to right the wrongs of now,
Let lie the dreadful sins of long ago.
To hate a fellow human is to bow
To hate of self, of all things here below.
Chuckleberry Chutney by Skip Hughes can be purchased from Amazon and would make a nice gift for the poetry lover.
Merry Christmas to all and may 2017 be a blessed year for each of us.
