This collection of 25 poems was written in the winter and spring of 2022. The subject matter of this collection is wide ranging. The horror of the Ukraine war is prominent as well as many other topics of the time. The poem that is the most disconcerting is "The Message". It turns out it was a premonition of my future - the passing of my wife of 40 years. Consciously, I didn't see it coming. It appears that my subconscious mind was attempting to warn me.

This is a collection of short stories about some of the lessons that life has taught me. Written and compiled by Dan Turner. Like my life, it is a work in progress.
