Thoughts in Different Shades

Beschreibung

Thoughts in Different Shades, is a collection of poems that reflect the outlook, the pain, the pleasures, the discernment, and the thoughts of Victory Gentry. Some of the writing describes his past and current relationships, while others tell stories of what and how he sees the world around him. All and all they are a collage of his thoughts that he has flush out of his inner-self and put into words. This collection of works spans close to fifty years of self- interrogating and discovering ways of expressing his thoughts through writing. Some of the works date back to the early eighties while others were completed in the early two thousand and twenties. Close Friend, his first completed work with the intentions of being lyrics for a song, and yes, there is a melody for it. As with the poem Am I, he did turn into a song. Driving at Dawn is a story that is based on true events that happened while he was a school bus driver. This collection of poems are not all of his works. They were carefully picked out and chosen to complete this set of thoughts. Even the book cover was carefully thought out; using the different shades of pastel colors to express the different tones and hues of each and every thought. Victory as he liked to be called, was inspired to share this body of work after talking to a friend once she had read his first book Grandpa Fairy Tales "Horatio the Hawk" and some of his poems that he has written.
