PoextS #5009

too much information
who will draw the line
who will have a vision
to recognize the sign…
peer pressure rises
media blitzes more
who will take the time
to help and not ignore…

His book, PoextS and PicS: Second Edition, is now available.
Another year of drawings to match up with some of his thoughts. Check it out!

"I began to share my PoextS on different social media platforms a few years ago for marketing purposes. One of these was Instagram. After a while I began to draw an accompanying picture that I felt came from out of the words. Over time I have had many say that they enjoyed these “drawings”, and so I decided to put a book out to include the words with the illustrations. This is my Second Edition. I hope you enjoy them."

*The Purple Diamond Queen…a poetic story...What is it? Why is it? Where did it come from?An agreement of long ago, inspired by an act of greed, a recipe for pleasure in the moment which has consequences never before envisioned.Who will pay their dues?In Jeff Johnston's tenth book of poetry, THE PURPLE DIAMOND QUEEN, he has taken his "PoextS" of the moment, and created a poetic story. A story of immense implications and moral dilemma. It is partly in the moment and partly purposeful creating.
