For anyone who doesn't know and all of us who think we do.The poetry of life will grow and tell it all to me and you.Expressing thoughts and feelings from youth to older ages.All the soughts and dealings in a multitude of pages.Through all the triumphs and the strife.From war to peace and love for life.Everything from nature to the "favourite wife". - D.M.A (editor)Archway: Lifetime Rhyme is a collection of more than 1,000 poems in three volumes by Archie E. Anderson, the same author who writes Archway: Six Year Book Of Dreams, Archway's Christmas New Years Rhymes, Archway's Valentine Love, and Archway's Garden Rhymes.In the first pages of Archway: Lifetime Rhyme, the poems parallel those six years. In the years following, when "normal life" is supposed to be replacing dreams, the poetry continues as the poet's experiences and surroundings become the sources of new feelings of an explorer "plumbing the unknown".The unknown is life in the present and the future. The ongoing exploration is in verse. Along the way, the poet's inspirations come from loving one person and beautiful natural places, cultural encounters, historic events, people in passing, as well as from gardening, politics, social and environmental issues, daily news stories, friends, family, food, crocheting, personal events and mishaps, happy celebrations, etc.This is a journey through life in rhyming memoirs filled with humour, mischief, wonder, adventure, and care, covering more than 75 years, with an undetermined finale still remaining unknown.
