Pebbles on the Beach
by Anthony Stones

Just as before, these poems reflect my thoughts upon my own experiences as well as my observations on the experiences we all encounter at each phase of our lives. Many of these poems, unlike the first effort, are more recent, and therefore image events closer to the present. This time, too, the poems are less chronological, whereas I felt the first poems should remain mostly in the order in which they were written over fifty years. I do not see poems as sad so much as thoughtful and reflective commentaries, very often wry and tongue-in-cheek. The poems in this book are mostly like that.

I think I always knew I had to produce a second book of poems. I held back some poems from the first book, to polish a little more. By the time the first book came out, I had composed many more poems that I wanted to share. It is a bit of a compulsion for me to express myself through poetry, going back many years, but now I want them to be out there, not gathering mustiness in a closet. As before, I hope that people will relate to the occasional poem because it touches upon a facet of their own lives. Of course, I also hope that people will even appreciate the style and presentation as well.
