Vintage of My Years

The poems in this collection are whimsical, amusing, romantic and sometimes solemn. They are honest and uncomplicated. Vintage is a suitable term for this compilation. Whereas a wine maker uses the term 'vintage' to specify the year in which grapes are harvested and turned into an appealing wine, Ron Unruh uses the word 'vintage' to define from his long life, a variety of sensations he has experienced. Yet many poems contain themes with which you will identify. Like a wine, life within his poems is refined, graceful, and well-balanced. Unruh is a romantic, an artist and an author. In this, Ron's first published poetry collection, themes from 81 years of life are gathered in four sections: Life As It Is, Life As I Like It, Life As It Was, and, Life As It Will Be. A Back Story accompanies some poems to provide a context for the ideas expressed within. You will enjoy the sentiments emoted in this book.
