More Description"Allen's Poetry Book II, The Middle Years" is the second of three books collectively containing nearly 400 of Allen's poems as testament to his life-long love of composing. Book I, "The Early Years" was published in May, 2013 and was universally acclaimed by its readers: "[it read like] a poetic memoir"; "an amazing collection of poems of love, friendship, introspection, and philosophic ruminations." "[That Mobile Abode] was a modern-day version of the old wagon train trips across country ..."Book II covers the period from 1964 to 1999 and family residences in Santa Ana, CA; Rehovot, Israel; Long Beach, CA; and Vienna, VA. Allen's poetry encompasses: observations, occasions, travels, stories, politics, family and friends, philosophy, God, science, love, marriage, life, loss and death. It is matter-of-fact poetry using every-day words; however, Allen loves rhyme, rhythm, alliteration - especially in his tall tales.Book II's epics feature the first five Pa Poke episodes, The Song of the Maasai and Orientessy.
