It gives me pleasure to share with you an online book of light verse and other poems, titled On the Eve of Success: An Octogenarian Views the World. Click here to download it.

Looking over my poems from the last half dozen years, it appears that I now have a short book of poems inspired by being of a certain age. 

If you are getting older, you might find these efforts useful, or comforting, or maybe just amusing and enjoyable. I hope so.

If you download the book to your desktop, it will be there ready for you when you need an escape, as I suspect we all will. Feeeeeeel free to circulate and share, or print out for a library.

Hang in there.  Gus
