Poems that envelop eight decades from cotton picker to rocket scientist to poet! These poems by Hollis Davis embrace his individuality, but are for sharing a community of thoughts to trigger memories in the mind of the reader. He shares almost nine decades of his life. Some poems are congenial and others share the emotions of past experiences. We all go through phases of life and each of our associates becomes a part of what and who we are. The author's evolutionary path was like climbing a ladder with many rungs. Starting on a farm was a good start, although he was anxious to get away. Playing football for an education was sometimes difficult. Working in the aerospace industry gave him chances to be creative and write. Yet his schooling has been through all decades because he continues by writing poetry and songs. He has had almost two decades of writing for fun. Now these selections are for your enjoyment, as he has had his joy in writing them.
