70 3 SUMMERS

At the age of seventy something, James L. Freeman began writing poetry. In the beginning, his anecdotes of grandfathering, nature and social issues almost resembled poetry. He kept writing, attended his writing group and tried to improve. Today, he writes poetry that shows his understanding and appreciation of being old and young, our place in nature, love, gentle humor, and social and mental health issues. Now and then, his poems may touch something universal.
