Faith Gabi Grubb

Faith is a celebration of life and of the lives of loved ones lost. Some of the poems, such as Putting on a Show, Life Lives on in a Smile and Together Forever, are in free verse and chart some of life's difficult journeys. They have emerged from real events and they simply tell the story of what happened, of how solace pops up from the most surprising sources, of how our world of perpetual change constantly rolls along. The quartet of See, Hear, Speak and Do No Evil was born from observation of the damage that is done when evil is perpetuated. Some of the poems are in traditional forms. The World, A Song for an Unknown Future and Counting Rowan Buds are triolets. Lucky in Life and This Perfect Life are sestinas; and The Corrosive "if only" is a villanelle.
