Ode to Writers
Who are writers? We all learn to write our letters whether in manuscript printing or in cursive. Does that make us all writers? I remember back in second grade and just learning how all the letters joined together to make words come alive and it was pretty as a picture written in cursive handwriting with all the lines and curves like the letters 'Q', 'L', 'S', and my favorite was the letter 'Z'. Anyway, what is a writer by profession that we chose to be during a period of our lives.

Thunderstorm and Rain
Who doesn't like a good thunderstorm? When you were little your parents probably told you it was God moving furniture around or bowling. As an adult we know it is just two air masses clashing together the hot and cold of it. I still like the idea of moving furniture around or bowling. That would mean to me that heaven will be a better version of what is here.

Typewriting
Who remembers taking a typing class in high school? At my school, believee it or not it was requirement to graduate. You had to take at least one year of typewriting, but I took both courses. As I said when writing my acrostic entitled 'Old Typewriter' I also remembered these two courses.

Public Opinion. Content Warning.
'Public Opinion' is an adult novel of suspense and a bit erotic at times. It is written by Nathan Pettijohn and it kind of answers the question 'What does public opinion really mean to all of us?' The main character of Melvin, who also goes by a few other names along with a few friends are involved in the world of movie producing of X-rated films along with other dealings. Melvin must do some creative computer work to make everyone happy but is he really only wanting to do what is expected of him.

Ode to Economics
In learning what economics means what do you remember? There were lessons on supply and demand, banking and taxes, durable goods and services and even nondurable goods and services-what is durability economically speaking in business and personal worlds.

Ode to World Cultures

Ode to the Social Sciences
What is the social sciences? This is an area that involves several subject areas from psychology to sociology to anthropology. Other areas include social work and counseling and even education. There are related areas in this area that to me includes teaching and nursing and even childcare. All of these areas there are always questions that we have that we need answers and we ask for help.

Hurtle and Hewis
'Hurtle and Hewis' is a children's book written by Dawn Ajarie-Vizor. This is a story of quite a pair of hedgehogs one that is obsessive and that is kind of a slob, but they are siblings and they have a plan to do on their vacation that one of won in a contest. They each learn a lot about each other. Dawn has written this story to show that siblings can find ways to get along and be able to work and have fun in many different situations. The illustrations were vivid and quite descriptive. This is also a story that has a lot of alliteration that helps with learning sounds of letters for young children.
