Book Review: What Words May Come
This is an honest and well-prepared review of my book, Poetry of Faith. I have taken note of several key points mentioned and will keep them in mind moving forward to my next book. Thank you, H.R.R. Gorman (https://😉hrrgorman.wordpress.com), for this insightful, kind and excellent critique! Kev
Kevin’s blog is a wonderful place to just chill out and bask in an ever-changing feed of poetry, pictures, and little stories.
The Book
What Words May Come
Author: Kevin D. Parish
2019
Amazon Link
Kevin Parish runs a great blog/website where he talked about this book and its imminent publication last year. His announcement included notice that the first copy went to his mom which, due to my own sensibilities, was a big deal to me. So, after effusive feelings and impulse decisions (not that I wouldn’t have bought it otherwise), I’m looking forward to this collection!
Non-Spoiler Review
One of the best parts about this book was that it was thematically on-point and stayed focused the entire time. Though Parish explored many facets of personal faith – from doubt and sacrifice to joy and friendship – the poetry did remain on the topic of a Christian faith journey…

HORIZONS… a poem
The clouds on the horizon
They never do get near
A fleeting star shoots through the night
Out into the clear
Just beyond my reach again
Just beyond my heart
Maybe on the morrow
I can find a brand new start
If home is where the heart is
It’s where I want to be
Casting doubts and broken promises
Always a part of me
But I’ll keep on dreaming, yes
It’s what I always do
For one day on that horizon
I know that I’ll find you
VACATION TIME…

LITTLE SNOWFLAKE… a poem
Hey, little snowflake
Floating to the ground
Along comes the wind
And tosses you around
Back into the air
Swirling to and fro
Until you finally make it down
And become the status quo
WINTER'S LAST…
This is an early poem I wrote and sent to my son when he was studying music composition and voice at Ithaca College. This was early in his studies. He composed the music and he is the young man in the light blue sweater front and center. He also composed this voice parts for the piece. This is what he did with it! Follow the lyrics below. It is a little over five and a half minutes long. Enjoy!
WINTER’S LAST
Close your mouth and die
Your time is drawing near
Winter take your final breath
For Spring is on the clear
Forget your tawdry ways
They have no bearing true
Deny your foe if you so dare
It’s death that waits for you
Draw just one last time
Of air that deathly cools
As sun shines down upon the glade
Like Satan so Spring drools
Give all to this dreary night
As ever coming with
Tis Heaven’s choice for days of light
Goodbye ‘til next year’s pith
Devotion…
Basking in the Glory of God!
