Rhyme and Reason
Rhyme and Reason by Jake Dillon, published by AuthorHouse in April 2005, is a collection of poems that explore the theme of love through various lenses. This edition contains 168 pages and is presented in English. The poems range from light-hearted to serious, each serving as a response to spontaneous feelings inspired by elements such as “Puck” or Erato, blending humor and introspection.
Readers will find that each poem is followed by a commentary that provides context or reflection, creating a dialogue around the themes presented. The work touches on aspects of philosophy and sociology, inviting contemplation on the nature of love and human experience. Dillon’s unique approach encourages readers to engage with the text, making connections between the poems and their own lives while navigating the complexities of emotion and existence.
Official synopsis Publisher
The poems I proffer here, all spin around, one way or another on the axis of generic love. They run a spectrum from frivolous to serious, inane to germane, and short to long. Each one is a specific response to some spontaneous feeling brought on by such a demon as “Puck” of perhaps Erato. After each “Rhyme”, a reason ensues to explain, apologize, “rap” about or otherwise attend the poem at hand. Each itch has its very own scratch! Isn’t that what we all do while waiting for “Godot” and otherwise enjoying the poison ivy of life?!
We all remember the days of our youth, when we, as scholars, students, (or at least pupils) were tortured in the name of homework to write that infernal essay by which we attempted to explain (in five hundred words) what the poet, John Milton, perhaps was really saying as he lamented his blindness.
As for my “ocular rectitis,” perhaps God will be kind and not exact day-labor when my “Rhyme and Reason” is considered in the dim twilight of my years as a late day, latter day, would-be poet.
With Love; I Say, Enjoy!
Sincerely, Jake Dillon
