Poetry Alive

This book of short poems represents an eclectic collection of ideas, topics, and reasoning. The poems are mostly written in sonnet form, rhymed in couplets. This form best conveys in a brief and poignant manner the essential issues bearing upon the topics presented.Although some of the ideas suggest experiences personal to the author, this is coincidental, and does not represent the intended purpose of the book. Poetry Alive is arranged in eleven parts, to assist the reader in navigating the various topics and issues.Throughout the work, there is a general theme of the ultimate supremacy, authority, and power of God, in contrast to the limited intelligence and subordinated position of the human race. Even though man undoubtedly represents God''s highest form of life on Planet Earth, he is still very clearly subjected to the supreme and supernatural authority of an Almighty Creator. The over-arching presence of this type of thinking and writing conforms to the writer''s strong belief in the inerrancy of God''s Divine Intelligence and in His unique prerogative as the Creator of the universe. To add balance to the collection, there are also a few poems emphasizing the grandeur and beauty of nature, along with a few others that accentuate the many common nuances and selfish biases that constantly attend, and are sometimes explicitly displayed in the expression of human love.Greville G. Liburd is retired and does consulting work as a CPA in Hamden, Connecticut, and in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The book''s inspiration came mainly "from my deep feeling toward the unsearchable inerrancy and grace of Almighty God, and the innumerable blessings He has bestowed upon mankind."Publishers website: http://sbprabooks.com/GrevilleGLiburd
