Rhyme Couplets Are My Cup of Tea
"Words of wisdom and words of woe
Words that tell you where to go
Words of love and words of hate
May synthesize if it gets too late
Words of instruction and admonition
May prevent a chosen path's fruition
The subtleties of the humanities
May contribute to one's proclivities
But the distance to the answer is much too far
They're just words, that's all . . . that's all they are."
Robert Torbett's compelling collection of poetry takes the reader through the gamut of human emotion. From recollections of lost love, to the thrill of a chance meeting . . . probing social commentary to whimsically witty musings . . . this collection encapsulates life's joyous moments and its enigmatic challenges into thoughtâ€"provoking balladry, taking the reader to places in one's own soul and shining a light on forgotten memories.
