Synopsis
For close to sixty years Vito Gentile has been writing poetry with insight and passion, and most fervently when he is writing about spring. As a child he would get depressed at the prospect of returning to school every September. However, when his schooling was finally behind him he would still get depressed in September, and realized that it was the oncoming autumn darkness that upset him. From that day on he has made the first day of spring his personal holiday. To honor and celebrate that day, each year he writes a spring poem and sends it out to family and friends all around the globe. If you're tired of winter, of walking in circles inside your home, of feeling muffled by your heavy overcoat, and need something to perk up your spirits and heart, this collection is for you..."The snow had fallen, the flakes were silent, the wind was not!", "Who says old trees can't bud -- Who says a young bird won't romp in an old tree!", "I need green, budding plants, and short pants - where the hell is spring?!", "There I stood - waiting like a daffodil...", "Toss off those gloves hiding your heart...", "Eggs under birds on beds of brown straw stir - Tweet, tweet..." Other works by the author in print are: "Fifty Poems About Christmas", "Little Christmas" a childhood memoir, and "Amidst the Gladiolas" a drama with stinging wit made to keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
