Let me introduce you to Gerald Jones. We met at a GLAWS (Greater
Los Angeles Writers Society) meeting. As a retired police officer, I was not
expecting him to tell me about his newly released book of poetry, called My Poetic Journey.
Once I started reading the book, I couldn’t stop reading until
I finished. It was fascinating, as I read his journey through life. He wrote
about his life- the struggles and pain, his relationship with God, his family,
and his friends using sensitive, poetic words. The book even gets “spicy”
toward the end, when he talks about his relationships regarding love and
passion.
My experience with poetry stops with Roses and Red. Violets
are Blue. So when I read the poems, I could tell that his writing comes from his
true feelings. The book is very well-written. His words turn his daily routines
into a thing of beauty. It’s amazing. Even if you think that you do not like
poetry, you will like Geri’s book. He will touch your heart.
