The Emotions In Life A Book of Poems and Verse
Author: Peter Kohl

This is a collection of Ideas, Experience and Thoughts, which are part of everyone's experiences, captured by the eye and ear of all and put on paper by Peter. — Some of the verses are life's experiences and others are dreams of what those experiences should be, if and when the ideal situation should occur. — One has to be sensitive, to the change... more »s in expression, to see the variations in feelings expressed by a person, in many different situations.

In life we have to be willing to express those feelings, for relationships to be nourished, and many times we are hesitant to make ourselves vulnerable by expressing ourselves, and in showing those feelings, which are so important in life.

This group of poems show my interpretations, of what some of those feelings or expression of feelings are like. There are many people who I have consulted, and who have inspired me, to express these words and feeligns and to put them on paper in a orm with which I am comfortable in using; Poetry, to be shared with others. To all of these friends I wish to show my great appreciation.

I am one of those who had come from Europe in the 50's, and had to adapt to the change in school system. I spent many months, which seemed like boring times; as the material covered was a repeat just in another language, at day-dreaming letting my mind wander and a chance to write at already an early age. But a boy writing poetry was not condoned, as one was called a "sissy", so all of the early work was crumpleld and thrown into the "Waste Basket".

It was one of those crumpled pieces of paper, which caught the eye of my teacher, who picked it out and aksed me to stay after school. Alas! I had been found to be day-dreaming and reprimanded for such deeds. But this was not so; as the teacher just comlimented me and said I should NOT throw such things away, but to do them at home, and concentrate at school.

From that time on I had not kept any papers until 1969 when I was invited to Deanna's graduation ceremony from the School of Nurshing. I wanted to write a special message for this Special Young Lady, and the result was "A Message To A Graduate".

It was another 14 years before I kept any other writings. In the late 80's I again decided to put the thoughts and dreams and impressions on paper. Then in the mid 90's I put together a set of poems for my nephew's Engagement and Wedding. Since then I have kept on writing, not only for the sake of writing, but using poems as a way of expressing myself, on sensitive topics. It was easier to vive a sheet of apper with a poem than to say to a person, what might have made me blush or to open up to a special friend, and be afraid of not coming across properly.

Writing poems for me was a way of verbally painting scenes and emotions to paper, and later on, I learned how to recite these poems with almost the same conveyance of feeling and emotion.

This may not be so convincing when the subject matter is more emotional, and one has to fear moments of anxiety or sheer panic of Blushing myself Crimson, as some of the poems are a trite deep on the amorous intonations.

These poems are my expression of feelings of and about the evenst in a normal life cycle, with a strong resemblance to my own life's experience, and those of many others, It is with pleasure I wish to share these words, which many people feel, but are also a little too shy to express.

I sincerely wish that the readers reflect on their own past, see the present and envision their future situations in this collection of writings.

To the many people who have inspired me, shaped my feelings and had the patience to support me in my attempts to express myself, I give Heartfelt Thanks.
