The Hidden Puzzle takes its reader through a journey of rhyming lines covering many topics. It begins with a true short story of what preceded the writings, followed by compositions that call upon the reader for their own interpretation. Though sometimes mysterious, these writings flow elegantly through a maze of emotions. This chapbook contains both rhyming and free verse poetry that displays many facets. The battle waged inside this author is displayed through his debut collection, The Hidden Puzzle.

"Awesome work" Hi, I am glad you added poetry for me to read. As I read every poem, I felt a lump in my throat start to form. You write from the soul, that much I can tell. You have lived a lot, seen a lot and have dealt with a lot of pain. I know a lot of people don't like dark poetry, but I do. When I write that kind of poetry, people are amazed that I would do such a thing. We all have a dark side. Like I told you earlier, I am not at all suicidal, or for that matter extremely depressed. When a write comes to mind, it came with a reason. Right now, it is a lot easier to write of the dark world than it is the light. All of those poems I read in your preview were brilliant. For a man to be able to write is a blessing in disguise. I have voiced that time and again. When I am able to financially afford to buy items online, I certainly will....this will go into my cart. I will not be posting too many dark poems in the forum anymore....they will all be on my storefront. If... More > you want, you can certainly take a look. Any input would be much appreciated....I am glad our paths have crossed...for some reason it did....perhaps because we both understand the darkside.....or are trying to understand the darkside....

"Poetry that makes you think" On first reading, the poems here read as ancient, timeless truths. Obviously written from the heart, the poems beg reading again and again, then the puzzle pieces start to slip into place. Here is a collection that will make you think , the almost sing-song manner of some of the verses cleverly overlay the deeper meanings and metaphors. Stark, skillfully written and evocative of many moods, this is a puzzle, indeed, maybe several, that you must read for yourself to unravel. Carole Barley
