Poems meant to be shared. I found an interest in poetry that has blossomed into this book of poems I have been writing for many years and have chosen some to share at this time. I hope each person that reads my poems will find inspiration, and a positive message. There are short poems, longer poems, comments and thoughts wrapped in the parchment of the pages in various styles of form and verse. They have been a long time coming to you! Enjoy!

Excerpt from Last Poems: Including Afterglow and Beyond the Sunset The poems contained in this volume were written by my mother, Mrs. Dorr, during the last fifteen years of her life. "Afterglow" was published in 1900, and "Beyond the Sunset" followed in 1909. Nearly half of the poems in the latter volume were written between her eightieth and eighty-fifth birthdays, yet they are seldom retrospective and never regretful. She lived in the present and the future, and reaped from the blessed memories of the past inspiration and incentive to more eager and enthusiastic living. Although she had outlived her generation, she was accorded a place as contemporary with the three generations who had read her poems, for she kept herself so in touch and in sympathy with the younger writers, and with the modern progressive thought of the day, that she did not appear to belong with those of her own age. Her heart was keenly responsive to the call of life, of youth, of love, and of beauty. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
