Ray's 101 Poems of Life, Death, And Many Things In Between

Book excerpt: On the morning of December 14, 2012, I tried to go to sleep. Just before I could slip into a deep sleep, I started to get the beginnings of a poem repeating inside my head. It started out as two rhyming sentences that kept repeating over and over in my head as I was trying to go to sleep. I eventually got up and wrote the whole poem. Later that week, as I was thinking about that poem and another poem came into my head. My girlfriend eventually joined in on the fun of finding different things to write poems on. She would say to me, “Why don’t you write a poem about this, or that?” So, when she mentioned it, I started to write about it. When I finished, I decided to compile all of the poems into a book, and share them with the rest of the world.
