The Third Book - a Book of Poems, Mostly

Book excerpt: In poet Don Edwards's third collection, The Third Book, he uses mainly free verse with exceptions, including sonnets and rhyming stanzas. These are his life views realized in poetry. Every word recalls his outlook and how to approach the world around us. Early on, Edwards saw life as an opportunity to create his own memories and destiny. He sees no problem with loneliness, as life alone is better than no life at all, especially if we live to the fullest. However, there are boundaries. As much as we hope to live in complete freedom, we are often hindered by what we are allowed and directed to do. Still, we must dance on. Your destiny is yours to live, so make the best of it.
