Time on My hands was written during the pandemic of 2020-2021. It was a time of isolation for nearly a year when the author, a retiree who lives alone, was determined to fill his days doing something productive. He had published six books of poetry and over 200 poems in literary journals, but all that was done while he led a normal life. Looking down the barrel of many months of isolation, several things occurred to him. First, there would be no excuses for not writing poetry since each day was a new beginning with no schedule. Second, because there were no excuses, writers block was a real threat. Third, he didn't want to write a book of poetry about COVID19 because it would be depressing. So, the book of poetry evolved on topics unrelated to the virus, and this made surviving the isolation possible for the author. There is no overarching theme of the poems. They cover the typical topics all of us encounter in our lives like childhood, family, work, love, hate, pets, philosophy, success, failure and nature to name a few. The author, throughout his writing career has endeavored to write poetry that is approachable, real, and deals with concerns of every person in life. Many of the works are about common events we all share and may offer a slightly different perspective on those occurrences.
