Questions come first,
answers later.
The poems featured here are from a collection of poems published in 1976 by George Ballance in which he questions the well-accepted aspects of life: Love, Death, Faith, Tomorrow, Decision Making, and simply being Alone.
He writes in the foreword. "Although my purpose in writing poetry is to make comment on a theme or subject; to question a statement or a belief; to capture in verse a scene or a mood, and all of this for my own enjoyment, it becomes the goal of those who write to have others read their work.
To this end I have compiled this manuscript and if the reading of these poems incite some comment in you, whether critical or approving, if they make you consider the subject matter, I will be satisfied”
We believe that you will find them thought provoking and challenging.
Thank You.
AM.
