Rhymes From The Heart

Rhymes from the Heart . . . an intriguing collection of poetry that touches the very soul.

A compilation of poems by Americans writing about American art in the twentieth century, including such writers as Nancy Willard, Jane Yolen, and X.J. Kennedy.

This is a ‘feel good’ anthology of poetry in which all the 82 poems follow different rhyme patterns with great humour that will leave the reader smiling. Hence, the title ‘Rhymes from the heart’. The book covers very simple everyday issues about love and romance, marriage and relationships, grief and hope, spiritual belief, positive attitude and Mother Nature. The beauty of the book is the simple form of language that will appeal to all age groups and profession especially those that dislike poetry because they always seem to need interpretation – Not in this book. From the hilarious ‘The Run-Away Bride’ to the passionate ‘Mama’s Love’ to the tantalizing ‘Smooth Operator’, the reader will have difficulty deciding his favourite because it is brilliantly done. If you finish the book without a smile, it was never worth a buy.

This book is a collection of inspirational, and sometimes personal poems that one can relate partly, almost totally, or totally, which is one of the goals I have for the book. The other goal which I hope is easily achieved by the reader is that it can relax them, entertain them and inspire them all at the same time. Unlike a novel, each poem is like a story in itself. I feel that with many of these poems the message can be very impacting and easy to remember since each one rhymes and most aren’t too long. Enjoy.

For this companion to her New York Times best-selling collection A Family of Poems, Caroline Kennedy has hand-selected more than a hundred of her favorite poems that lend themselves to memorization. Some are joyful. Some are sad. Some are funny and lighthearted. Many offer layers of meaning that reveal themselves only after the poem has been studied so closely as to be learned by heart. In issuing the challenge to memorize great poetry, Caroline Kennedy invites us to a deeply enriching experience. For as she reminds us, “If we learn poems by heart, not only do we have their wisdom to draw on, we also gain confidence, knowledge and understanding that no one can take away.” Illustrated with gorgeous, original watercolor paintings by award-winning artist Jon J Muth , this is truly a book for all ages, and one that families will share again and again. Caroline’s thoughtful introductions shed light on the many ways we can appreciate poetry, and the special tradition of memorizing and reciting poetry that she celebrates within her own family.

Human beings ought to be humble and humane. Love and sympathy should exude from their behavior. Selflessness and altruism should deck their personalities. They should adhere to honesty even if it has perilous outcomes. They should abide by the truth even if it is against their interests. Kindness should be their hallmark and should not only extend to their own fraternity but to animals and plants too. Forgiveness should be their motto and compassion should be their second nature. Their countenance should be pleasant and their mannerisms gracious. Sincerity should be writ large in all their undertakings. Their lives should be governed by self-discipline. People should be able to depend on them when times are bleak. Sharing their blessings should come naturally to them. They must be just even to their enemies. Contentment should be their permanent companion. Their strong connection with God should continue to give them the courage to bear persecution for the sake of righteousness. If they can live and die for others they would be humans par excellence.If these "Rhymes in Humanity" can in any way help people to be high achievers as human beings, it would be a small service from someone who is also striving in this cause in spite of all his failings.
