My Poetic Composition

My Poetic Composition contains various poems of actual events that have transpired during my life in regards to myself, my friends, family, pets, mood, state of mind, emotions, elements, nature, and just common issues and obstacles all of us encounter in our daily lives. In writing these poems, my initial intention was to relieve daily stress through my writing.

One day a coworker noticed a poem on my desk and asked to read it. Upon reading the poem, she began to cry. She said it was one of the most beautiful things she had ever read and asked if I had any others. I pulled out my folder and handed them all to her. She said if I published them, she would buy the first copy. I thought it would be nice to make others happy through my thoughts, opinions, and expressions.

Writing poetry creates avenues and opens endless doorways through the imagination. In my book, I wish to introduce the reader to my world or at least events that have occurred in my life throughout the years. Upon reading my poetry, I hope one takes with them the understanding that we all go through turmoil, suffering, and hardships, but tomorrow is always another day! Thanks for reading!

My name is Daniel Zack Jones. I was born in Fort Walton Beach, Florida but moved to Alabama when I was three. At the age of five, my mother and father divorced. Since they were unable to care for my brothers and I, we were placed in an orphanage in Talladega, Alabama. At the age of sixteen my aunt and uncle took me out of the orphanage to live with them until I graduated high school. Upon graduation, I entered the Air Force. I was stationed at Kirtland AFB, Albuquerque, NM. I attended the University of New Mexico and the University of Albuquerque. I currently live in Prattville, Alabama with my three dogs: Hauser, Joe, and Zoey, My cat: Kitty-Girl, and my turtle: Rocky.
