    About this ebook

    Inspirational Cues is a collection of poems which has been inspired by, and which captures the conversations, banter, and discussions between the author and New Yorkers, including children in their strollers. The decision to publish results from the response of readers on Blogit. com., the internet site on which nearly all of them were first introduced. It is hoped that you are as impressed as the readers are on that site.

    This collection attempts to address many aspects of our lives: love, disappointments, loneliness and longing. This is My Country expresses the admiration for the opportunities afforded anyone who lives in the United States. Indeed, it was a response to the election of the 44th President of the United States. Inevitable shows our inability to thwart that unwelcome moment with which we all must contend. Not A Stranger paints the beauty and innocence of little children and what joy and ecstasy these little beings contribute to our happiness. The collection reflects the journey of our lives: from the cradle to the grave.

    It is the author's first published book. The author hopes that you find it easy reading, inspiring phrasing, and that it may assist all of us to come closer together no matter who we are, no matter where we are and that we will appreciate that we are. A dossier of the fruits and animals of the country of his birth, probably a childrens playbook will follow.

      Foreword to Inspirational Cues, by Ex_Turpi

      Nearly 40 years before his death, Carl Sandburg, the once-hobo

      become Pulilzer Prize winner and iconic poet wrote thirty-eight definitions

      of poetry in his work Good Morning, America. Two of them came to

      me like background music and ambient lighting, as I read the poems

      of Ex_Turpi’s Inspirational Cues.

      Poetry is the opening and closing of a door,

      leaving those who look through

      to guess about what is seen during a moment

      Poetry is a journal of a sea animal

      living on land, wanting to fly the air.

      The reading of poetry can never be a passive experience, not if the

      poetry is successful. It entangles the mind and the soul. For me, there

      is in the poem that engages an invitation to relate what is read not just
