Dorsey's Real Poetry for Seniors In “Dorsey’s Real Poetry for Seniors” by author Ed L. Dorsey, he offers readers poems that rhyme. Rarely in today’s literature do we see such rhyme and rhythm. “He writes that poems lacking verse and rhyme are like a song with the music gone, there’s just no place for the words to belong.” “These Golden Years” hit just the right note. Dorsey uses poetry to speak what many seniors are thinking and feeling. There is great humor in many of his poems: “Why Now” “When finally able to accept that perfect I shall never be—Why now in others to expect the same that so eluded me.” As we grow older we realize that we will never be perfect but Mr. Dorsey is right we still think others should be. Many of the poems express the joy: “This Spring” “Oh let my heart feel this Spring, when robins bounce and blue birds sing; When pent up tulips untie their string, and all the air is rapt with joy, And I, once more am a little boy!” One of the poems I found most touching was “Humility” “Humility is what swells in me and spills to fill my inner space, Once my eyes are able to see all the gifts given by God’s pure grace.” “Dorsey’s Real Poetry for Seniors” by author Ed L. Dorsey is the finest book of verse I’ve ever read. The poems actually have a rhyme and rhythm to them. Mr. Dorsey is an extremely talented author, who easily presents his thoughts in the written word. I found the poems easy to read and understand. Senior readers (and many others) will truly enjoy this book. Many poets ramble along leaving the reader to wonder why the author wrote the poem and why the reader bothered to read it. The reader will know why each poem was written and will reread them again and again. My only criticism would be the cover. The color is an unpleasant shade of yellow, something this beautiful inside deserves a beautiful cover outside. It is with great admiration that I highly recommend this book. |
