Earl has contributed so much to the Poetry Corner as well as to the world with his writings. We would all be in a much poorer place without the poetry from this talented and prolific author. An exquisite work of art.

Mr. Hubbard, you are an amazing person, and it shows within your poetry, and photographs. I can’t even begin to describe the depth within these extraordinary pieces of artistry. You are a visionary of all that is serene, and pure at heart. I envy the power you portray within your talents, and can only hope that one day I might be able touch the heart’s of so many people, the way you have. Please keep up the good work, so that I (and many others) can have something to look forward to. I truly feel as if I’ve known you a lifetime. Your down to earth attitude is what sets the beautiful atmosphere that surrounds every breathtaking aspect of this, and many other pieces that you so gracefully contribute. All I can say is thank you Earl, from the bottom of my heart. You have sincerely given me a fresh outlook on life. A new beautiful world can be found in each and every one of Mr. Hubbards pieces. I sense an utter peace that for the moment, overshadows all my worries everytime I open this book. An investment worth partaking in, I must say.

in a world where darkness creep
and Goodness flailing
Demons and devils through portals peep
ensure sadness prevailing
the angels hide in realms deep
Souls of His herd in mute tones weep
but fear not says the Lord
through mortals a new tenet be born
a brand new breed
chase all things gloomy and forlorn
that will stand against dark hours
as one daredevil creed
It takes a lot of grit to
give birth to a pearl
there is one mortal in whose heart
peace and love steep, never sleep
One such mortal...his name is Earl


GLAD TO KNOW YOU
LOVELY BOOK

Earl has been a magnificent contributor of poetry here at Lulu, and this new book is no exception - but it is exceptional. Great poems, dealing with all kinds of things, and wonderful pictures to make that perfect blend - and all with a beautiful mood and a great choice of words.

With Love,
Dean F. Wilson.

You can be sure that there won't be a hang over after you get high reading Earl's mountain brew of poems and photos. Don't expect the ordinary from this super poet from Massachusetts who pokes fun at every facet of country life stirs the home brew pot with a few references to the Beatles and a few of the folks down at Lulu's Poetry Corner.

His beautiful photograpsh add to the charm and set the stage fore even more great poems. You'll enjoy it.
