Seeds and Weeds J J Johnson

Seeds And Weeds is a philosophically expressive compilation of poetry and prose from the heart of JJ Johnson. This selection is more than simply a collection of verse with splashes of imagery, this is an expression of the heart and spirit of a man who believes ?Nice guys don?t finish last, we just want to be sure no one gets left behind.? It is that philosophy which has guided his hand in writing poetry for more than 30 years. The poems in ?Seeds And Weeds? were not conjured from casual observations on life that some would accept as fine poetry. These poems are more; they are the raw emotions expressed in words that have been inspired by a lifetime of experiences of the good and bad that grow within. Written in the moment of these events, not distant recollections, the poetry here is sometimes harsh, but always honest. Each chapter is formed from the concepts contained within the poems in them. From the poet's feelings on politics, faith, family, introspection, nature, friendship and fate, to poetry itself, this compilation digs deeply into the essence of poetic creation and the creation of a poet.
