Simple Thoughts (Paperback or Softback)

"Roger Watters deftly weaves humor, curiosity, and contemplation together in his poetry. Whether he's observing the natural world or the many qualities and quirks of people, he always does so with appreciation and unwavering compassion. Though his detailed and inquisitive poems are often reflective, they never get mired in nostalgia, but keep looking ahead-to hope, to the future, to the next quietly awe-inspiring event waiting around the corner."

-Elisabeth Blair

"Pick up this book of poetry and enter pages filled with sights, sounds, and emotions. Roger's poetry is beautifully simple and visually direct. Many of his poems share experiences we've all had, but his sharing makes us relive and rethink our own experiences."

-Linda Batt

Roger Watters started writing shortly after returning from Vietnam. Poetry was the form that he was comfortable with. From the Avenues of the Mind was his first book. He continued to write over the years and as a result, Toothpick Forest, Stationary Witness, Who Stayed and Voice of My Pen, all books of poetry were released.The author was also asked to do a book on the formation and history of the Diamond Sportsmen's Club, of which he was a member until recently. As a result, Diamond Faces - The Story of Diamond Sportsmen's Club became a reality and is available through the club in South Colton, NY.A Picture of Life was recently published of short stories that have waited years to be released. When a thought became larger than a poem, the thoughts were placed into a folder until there were enough.Simple Thoughts is a book of poetry as a result of the author's continual bond with nature and life.
