Book excerpt: INTRODUCTION Hi Poetry fans from all around the world. My name is Brett Johnson. First and foremost, I would like to say thank you for purchasing a copy of this eloquent, insightful, intellectual, introspective, thought provoking, sincere body of poetry work. This is my second published poetry book. I am even more proud of the creative thought process that penetrated from page one to the last. Basically, the title of the book is called “2008 Poetic Thoughts for the Summer, Fall, and first month of December. During that whole year of 2008, I kept a notepad daily. After every sunset, I would sit down, think a few minutes, and then jot down my inquisitive thoughts on how my genuine relationship with GOD keeps me animated through my ups and downs, smiles and frowns. This poetry book is a more detailed personal account of me as a human being, an imperfect man, a young adult struggling to find his own way to fit into this cold world of sin. Deep into my own zone of thought, I would constantly ask the lord Why do I Cry? Why did this sad event happen? If I was a husband or father, “Would I be this? Would I be that? The human spirit is so hopeless without the power of GOD in our lives. To all my diehard fans and soon to be fans, I really want you to personally digest, envision a few possible scenarios that could possibly relate to you in this book. How would you handle it? Would you give up? Would you continue to fight after you weep? Even if demons invade your dream, you can still show a proud, bright beam to your family, good, true, loyal friends, and best of all to GOD.
