    Thank you for sharing this link.

    I work in a homeless shelter, working with adults who are recovering from addictions, abuse, mental illness etc... This will be an excellent book to share with them... I'm always searching for books that can help them on thier journey...

    Excellent share, thank you

    I tried to have this as an e-book but was informed that I have to download something called Lulu which I'm not familiar with?

    Lulu is the publishing company Hellon, I think it's on Amazon to, not sure.....thanks folks, I just put some writings together to raise money for an abused children's organization, you're right, there's not much time to write anymore, but I'm trying to finish a real book soon, when my youngest starts school next week, I may be able to do a little more. About this book, I let someone else put it together for me, and wasn't too happy about the formatting, but it's for a good cause, so, I won't complain.

    It is on Amazon Bob...I've just downloaded it to my Kindle and will have a read at it a little later today...

    EDIT

    Ok...I'm about halfway through (I'm taking my time to absorb all the words and meanings) and, just wanted to ask a question. This is not a critique in any way and, I do know why you avoid punctuation as it can be distracting to the reader but, I just wondered if the publisher was happy about it...did you have to put your foot down and say....No punctuation? Like I said, just a question.

    From what I've read so far, the book could be your own personal journey through life although others will surely relate to some of your material at least. Nice job!

    Thanks, it wasn't submitted by me, and I had nothing to do with the formatting, although I wasn't too happy with the finished product, but it is for a good cause and that's what matters to me......I received one free copy which i haven't gotten yet, and everything else goes to the children's organization, I will post that info when I get it as well.....

    Also let me add, when poetry is formatted and styled right I don't believe constant punctuation is necessary, if the flow is done correctly...Less is best

    Yeah...the formatting was not the best Bob, I'll agree with that but...still, it was understandable and, like you said it was for a good cause so...members, at under 3 bucks for an e-book (that's less than a packet of smokes/can of coke) you should buy this book by Bob, read it and...give him some feedback! And..the money goes to a good cause...

    Great stuff Bob. Im happy for you for being able to do
    it. Also, the cause is very touching... But than again I was expecting nothing less from you!

    Bob,
    I think the formatting that bothers you is that poems start at the bottom of a page & contiue to the next. If so it's not much of a distraction.

    You did a great job here & for a worthy cause.
