Reseña del libro "The Naked Turtle Dances (en Inglés)"
Over one hundred sensitive, yet positive poetry. Doc D's poems, which have appeared in many magazines, and he brings them together along with new material in a volume for a cross-section of poetry for everyday life. Graphic images accompany the imagery of the poems grouped by categories to relate with how we live. He opens with poems on the Love of Life with poems like, It's Not the Wrapper, Just Call me an American and Angels in Fur. He shifts to Poems About Victory to reach the champions within ourselves with titles like Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda, The Triumph of the Moment, and Undiscovered Country. Munchkins and Children touch parenting with titles such as Time is a Thief, growing up with Warrior of the Outfield, and about true motherhood with Mama Bear. In Poems About the Soul the poems like, 2 B Free, Never 4 Free touches our freedom, Earth Lease touches the world around us and Naked Reflections touches our inner world of the soul. In Poems about Eternity and Spirit no holds are barred as Doc D opens with My Faith is Soiled by my Religion, then moves into The Good Samaritan's Neighbor, discusses the Measure of a Man and how our world is Chasms Apart. He even dives into poems about the irrational part of us all such as Speech-A-Phobia and Height Fright before he jumps into Poems on the Human Condition. There he brings the everyday life to the Human Condition with poems like Withered Roses, Uglies, Unchallenged Life and even includes a poem about the Pain of Pain. Poems about Life at Work keep in the everyday life scenario as Doc D explores with poems like the Corporate Beatitudes, Bite the Hand and those wonderful work relations some of us have like Crocs and Snakes. These are all topped off with poems about food like Pie, Steak and Doc D's personal obsession with Crème Brulee. The poems close on a style unique to Doc D with Audience Participation Poems where a stanza is read and the audience has a responsorial line. He has a series for every month of the year for various holidays. These range from the Ode to Punxsutawney Phil for Groundhog's Day to the somber on Hug a Vet for Veteran's Day and even a graduation poem, Go Forth and Be Awesome. The Naked Turtle Dances, Poems for Everyday Life brings positive poetry that relates into our lives on a daily basis.
