Having caught the last minutes of an interview of Fadali, by a questioner I respect, and also having library shelves bare of much modern poetry, I purchased this thin little book. The adjective describes both size and content.

For the first few pages, I thought certainly this must be an anthology, beginning from the barest, stumbling efforts of Fidali, writing when but a child. But as I continued to turn the pages, I realized that the adult writer consciously INTENDED to create a written work in which EVERY SINGLE END WORD RHYMED! An example follows: "Do you see a child building a castle in the sand? With high spirits and a steady hand. To him, the future looks rosy and grand. Dreaming one day he will be the leader of the band. On every issue, he contends, disputes and takes a stand. His mind is confused, hands full, but, his soul is bland. Driven by desires and the dictates of the adrenal gland. Clinging, lusting, rushing, envying; sorrow is his brand. Mistaking his smart computers and misguided staff for a magic............WAND." ????????

So help me... this is a verse of one poem.

I only wish I had investigated him at my public library before sending my pennies to Amazon.com. to actually PURCHASE this drivel. But then, I'd probably have lost my library privileges!

No amount of "shushing" could have controlled my laughter!
