Sellers\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoetry was Barbara Sellers's first love. She wrote her first poem at age nine, although she wrote\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emost of the poems in this book when she was 35 (the same age she is on the book cover).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSellers's early poems were humorous and made people laugh. She enjoyed entertaining friends and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efamily members with her humorous poems, so she continued to pursue her passion to write more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore long, instead of sitting down at a desk and waiting for inspiration to write her next poem, her\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epoems started coming to her naturally while she slept. In the middle of the night, she often awoke with a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003enew poem on her mind. If she did not take out a pen and write it down, going back to sleep would be very\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edifficult. Originally, the first poem Sellers fell in love with was \"Little Orphan Annie\" by James Whitcomb\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRiley. She read Riley's long poem so frequently that Sellers can still recite all four stanzas from memory, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewithout notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSellers said some of the greatest poems ever written often have to be closely examined before anyone\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecan fully comprehend their meanings. However, many casual readers do not enjoy reading poems that are\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etoo cryptic to immediately decipher. That is why Sellers largely writes simplistic poems with messages that\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eare easy for anyone to understand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 180\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 21, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52448438944051,"sku":"9781958711019","price":35.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/dUVVT2QwdWEzcFpYMDRTYWg2QlVGdz09.webp?v=1759039138","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/thats-life-in-poetry-and-short-stories-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
