My Poems and Thoughts. Why all these poems and thoughts? When I was recovering in the hospital with a new hip, My son, Pierre, and others tidied up my house, So I could move through with my walker. I learned that he found my early poems, Written on the backs of scrap paper, And that when work was done they all read them aloud ! Being encouraged with such interest, I began writing from masses of thoughts, Resulting from my very rich life-- They just keep coming and coming. Now they have a home on my Quail Ridge Land Trust website, And have even 'graduated' to a website of their own: (Poems by Frank Maurer). As one wades through the random subjects, One might see how my mind, observations, joys, and cares in life Developed as I travelled in this 'mortal coil'. Frank Maurer 8 November 2023 0520 Hours.
