Kaleidoscope View

About the Book

Kaleidoscope View is a collection of poems about love and life with a few pearls of wisdom written over a life time by Ron Boehm. The poems touch upon all aspects of life and are arranged in seven general sections titled Love, Ladies and Flowers, Emotions, Places, Ambitions, Philosopical Ideas and Spiritual.

The earlier poems are those of a romantic young man; then poems about places traveled to, adventures and the ambitions of a young man seeking life and fortune. Next are the poems of a middle aged man wondering what life is about and why we are here. In the last section "Spiritual" the author tries to answer in a poetic spiritual manner the questions raised in the earlier sections.

"Why do I thrill so just thinking of you? I guess it's because I'm discovering more each day adding to a Kaleidoscope View." - Kaleidoscope View

"Happiness, an elusive state, but is its transient quality a reflection of fate?" - Happiness

"Pink shades of sunset above the ocean blue, play on the cords of my heart in concert with the breeze and the mellow surf sounds too." - All Along the Seashore

"Time and its ceaseless march, ever moving, never slowing, never stopping, crushing dreams and skyrocketing others." - Time

"And now I'm feeling the warmth the nearer I go. The feeling within me seems tuned to the glow, a feeling of love and peace that draws me so, towards the light." - Towards the Light
