"Prayers, Praises, Proverbs, Promises," a collection of original writings about life, nature and social issues through poetry. The author, Washington Butler, Jr., uses informed, dynamic, entertaining images drawing on his eclectic background, education and world travel. Over many years, he has survived health challenges of heart trouble, HBP, prostate cancer, migraines, depression, and divorce.
Some readers are puzzled by Butler’s cryptic verse, which may or may not portray actual life events, around which a piece was created.
Selectively, Butler uses notes and references to aid readers understanding. Ever searching for voice, Butler seeks to pass on to readers life lessons learned about wisdom, knowledge, understanding, feelings, tolerance, love and relationships.
