    About this ebook

    This book is a collection of poems about and for the people of Ukraine. I am a citizen of the United States of America and have never been to Ukraine. This doesn’t mean that I do not feel their pain and anger, their love for their country, their fortitude and courage. I admire them and have a deep feeling of compassion for them. The invasion by Russia of their mother land is beyond comprehension. In this day and age why would anyone wish this on an innocent people?

    Author

    Lon Wartman

    His thoughts profound, His words simple. He is a product of the western plains of Kansas where coyotes sing on starlight nights and dust boils over the plains on hot summer days. Where solitude reigns in lonesome refrains and neighbors are but the salt of the earth. His hobbies are photography and poetry; capturing moments in thought and time while portraying the beauty of the most simple of things. Long involved in the arts and politics his first book of poetry titled “365 Joyful Poems” was published in 2021. lwartman21@yahoo.com 1540 Symphony Hts. Monument Co. 80132

      Dedication Page

      I dedicate these poems to the people of Ukraine. I am convinced that they will eventually win this war. They are a very strong willed nation fighting for and defending their right to freedom. I sincerely believe in their cause. This is a cause we freedom lovers should applaud.

      Poet’s Comments/ Foreword/ Introduction
