This is a collection of my Poems. Each group of about twenty eight poems with pictures were originally published in Chapbooks, small books of up to about forty pages, and sold by Chapman who carried them around the country, selling from door to door. I first started playing around with poems in March of 2010, while sitting on the porch overlooking the Coosawattee River in north Georgia. In fact my first poem was titled Coosawattee. It became a kind of challenge to write about things in poems, like caving, vacations and other things around Georgia and the Gulf coast. My wife Kathy gave me a birthday gift of a poetry course in August, 2010 and I have been writing ever since. After Ten Chapbooks, I thought that it would be nice to place the collection into one larger book, and use the cover images as the chapter titles. I hope that you enjoy reading, Poetry for the Adventuresome as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Fisherman makes a find in a pond that tears a small town apart. As the mystery unfolds more people become involved and the conflict grows. A Trout Pond, like a small town, has big fish eating small fish. All kinds of creatures live in and around a pond, and it's the same in a small town, the bigger they are, the better the catch, or the harder they fall!The Trout Pond tells about people who change. Most of us are resistant to change, but as you will see in this story we can and do often change when the circumstances force us, or when the opportunity for a better life comes along.

Martin looked around at the strange landscape; the trees were weird, like none he had never seen before. Large leaves and jungle vines hanging from all of them. Then he remembered the flash. Matthew, Clair, John, and Joann join up with Martin and Sue to hike for a week on the Appalachian Trail in North Georgia. At the top of Hawk Mountain, they run into trouble when something or someone scares them. Ed, retired and living alone, hikes the trail and searches Hawk Mountain for Indian artifacts. If hikers on the AT get too close to his diggings, he will try and scare them off. Ed, who had been watching the group after hearing the uproar and shouting, moved behind a tree to see what would happen, he thought he heard the word 'Gold' and wanted to learn more!

The Rock started me thinking about life and experiences in life that helped me and may help others. If a rock could listen and learn, think of all the wisdom, it would collect over the years.
