    About this ebook

    The development of A POETIC
    KALEIDOSCOPE came about
    when friends, after reading A
    LOVE TRILOGY, suggested
    that Ted write some more poems. Of all the subjects he picked, PURGATORY was the challenge he chose. This poem was an extreme challenge due to the complexity of the subject, and from that poem on, the rest just blossomed.

      Kaleidoscope Review

      A Love Trilogy

      Introduction

      The term Kaleidoscope was chosen to introduce my poetry to the world, as I have tried to provide a number of different views and subjects for the reader, thus suggesting that they think for themselves, as well as outside of the box.

      I hope that you enjoy my efforts on these pages, both for the entertainment value and for the content and I thank you for your support in this project.

      A Special Dedication

      To My Parents

      Lewis and Ann Goodrich

      Who through the highs and lows of growing up

      they taught me how to think and act in a way in

      which I hope they were proud.

      A Poetic Kaleidoscope

      I welcome you to come and read

      This kaleidoscope of poems indeed

      Where they are mixed in every way

      From serious to comedy.

      Some philosophy you’ll see,

      A couple ballads there will be.

      Some stories too, for what they’re worth

      Are given here to a new birth.

      A couple fantasies as well

      And romance also there to tell.

      No epics, they would take too long.

      Just entertainment fill the throng.

      And so enjoy these poems I’ve done.

      I hope your pleased with every one.

      For pleasure these were meant to be,

      My kaleidoscope of poetry.

      Purgatory—A Place Within

      T’is by a definition given what heavenly bodies will debate,

      For Purgatory is deriven from death and sins before the gate.

      Yet I contend that this is not the truth of which we all must face,

      For truly we are there right now, our Purgatory of disgrace.

      As god is so within us all and sin is oh so of our own,

      Our purgatory then must come, within our life our sins are sown.

      We have our purgatory now each day and how we live,

      For those that are so short of life, there is less to forgive;

      Yet those who live so saintly, and yet seem to live so long,

      Are, to them, living such short lives, they cannot give as strong.

      And so the case of those who are so evil yet live on.

      They fully are in purgatory, eternally prolonged.

      And then there are the rest of us, with good and bad combined.

      Our balancing of hopes and needs and lusts so unrefined.

      We seek so much to do all right, and yet our wants command,

      That lust and greed and pleasures call upon us to demand.

      An equal portion of the good with evil we do seek

      Our purgatory then appears to
