Envision Religion Rick Martin

This is a collection of fifty poems and three short stories using religion as its theme. It has different points of view and attempts to see things in a humorous light. Poetry is often stiff, so a dash of humor does not hurt. The poetry lets the creative process begin as he plays with the language before writing the longer stories. He hopes the contrasts will be colorful and illuminating. The stories in Envision Religion, My Sky Cried Aces, Shadow of the Cross, and Messenger of Light seem to fit in with the general theme. My Sky Cried Aces is a story of someone who's on the ups and downs. Shadow of the Cross is a tale of a family coping with the death of their matriarch grandma. Messenger of Light is a story of two unlikely companions meeting up and learning respect for each other during their ride. So they give me a chance. I hope you will be surprised.
