...a book about life... cas•cade (")kas-'kAd n – 1. a waterfall or series of small waterfalls over steep rocks. 2. Something such as lace, thought to resemble a waterfall or series of small waterfalls, especially an arrangement or fall of material. 3. A succession of stages, processes, operations or units. 4. Electronic. A series of components or networks, the output of each of which serves as the input for the next. I feel this definition is a great analogy for the flows, bumps and uncertainties of life. The poems in this collection are such, touching on the good and bad, love and lust, humor and sorrow…the things that make us who and what we are. So, take off your shoes…step into the water. You will see yourself in the reflections here and you may also see something entirely new. E.W. Richardson Cambria, CA 2004    Excerpt "Child-like, I still seek the mystery in imagination."

Reader Reviews for "Cascades"

Indeed poetry is a window to the soul and Cascades is no exception I found myself intimately immersed within these poems, feeling what excits you, frightens you, and humbles you. You vividly describe experiences of mind and heart with verses spread over a lifetime, and this reader found herself with mental pictures and heart felt phrases lingering long past the reading of the page. There are many personal gems within this collection, I enjoyed the air of “Jazz Singer”, the earth of “An Ode to Soil”, and the sentiment of “Memories in a Shoebox”. Your collection completes with several epic selections, my favorite is “Waterfall by Candlelight”.
