Description

<p>Have you ever loved, been loved, been confused about love, or suffered from loss of love? All these feelings have been captured and shared in the words of heartfelt poems, compiled over many years by a former teacher and award-winning author.</p><p>Sherrill S. Cannon now shares her thoughts in this book of feelings. &quot;As a teacher, I used poetry to help counsel many troubled teens and friends, and have continued this pattern throughout the years.&quot;</p><p>There are three sections in her book: Heads, Spinning, and Tails ... (Love &amp; Loss: Coin Toss?). The variety of lyrical poetry forms include free verse, blank verse, haiku, and sonnets. Some poems are simply plays on words.</p><p><strong>A Sign</strong></p><p>In the depths of my winter</p><p>I heard a small bird -</p><p>Braving the cold,</p><p>Bringing the word.</p><p>He gave my heart hope</p><p>As I heard him sing -</p><p>Three little notes</p><p>Promising spring.</p><p>Sherrill S.

Also a playwright with seven published plays for elementary school children, her works have been performed internationally in over 20 countries.

<p class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="font-size:11pt;">PUBLISHERS WEEKLY - &quot;I was engrossed by The Centurion and the Queen, and didn't put it down.&quot;</span></em></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="font-size:11pt;"> </span></em></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="font-size:11pt;">SIMPLY ROMANCE REVIEWS - &quot;Historical novels especially historical Romance tend to fall within fairly set parameters and usually tend to be a bit clich. This story breaks out of those parameters and destroys the clichs with a truly refreshing story of love in ancient Britannia.&quot;<br />  <br /> FALLEN ANGEL REVIEWS - &quot;Minnette Meador adeptly weaves in Roman and Celtic words and references [in the Edge of Honor], adding realism to this harsh world. Fans of The Centurion and the Queen will not be disappointed.&quot;<br />  <br /> NIGHTOWL ROMANCE - &quot;I encourage you to try out Minnette%u2019s work and see how enmeshed you will become in her wonderful settings. %u2026this book pulled me in and I read it in two sittings%u2026%u201D </span></em></p>
