Why?
A bright red flower,
A thing of simple beauty
Basks in the summer heat
Wa fted by gentle breezes.
Why?
A small green pod,
Two snicks by a knife edge
Held in rough brown hands,
Milk white syrup flows.
Why?
A fine white powder,
A dust like soft clouds
Passed to a young man's hand
Answers its own tempting call.
Why?
A bright young life,
A simple lovely bloom
Enmesh in growing hell
With death at its door!
WHY I
Jerry Abels
Like a pearl of night you hang.
Washed with the fleece of clouds,
Surrounded by diamond stars.
A deflowered virgin, you shine
Softly as the whispering trees
Flatter your beauty and light.
Heard only by those in love
Your heart sings out clear
Sharing your secrets of life.

If I could get my
my first grod
c her eft
honds on
Gch$r now,
It all began in the first grade.
But don't blame your first-grade teacher. It wasn't
her fault. It was the system she had to teach.
The old "run, Spot, run" method.
You had to read it out loud. Word by word. And
that's the-way it was until you became a second
grader. Where your teacher asked you to read silently.
But you couldn't do it. .
You probably stopped reading out loud. But you
still said every word to yourself.
If you're an average reader, you're probably
reading that way now.
Which means you read only as fast as you talk.
About 250 to 300 words a minute.
And that's not fast enough any more.
Not when the average student has approximately
8 hours of required reading for every day of classes.
And since the amount of time in a day isn't about
to increase, your reading speed will have to.
In order to handle it all.
The Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics course can
help.
With training, you'll be able to see groups of
words. To read between 1,000 and 3,000 words per
minute. Depending on how difficult the material is.
At any rate, we guarantee to at least triple your
reading speed, or we'll refund your entire tuition.
(98.4 of everyone who takes the course accom
plishes this.)
So don't waste time thinking about whom to
blame. Come take a free introductory speed reading
lesson. We'll increase your reading speed on the spot.
It takes about an hour to find out how you can reduce
your study time by 50 or more.
And it ought to be worth an hour of your time.
To save thousands.

Love
Mirrored on a placid lake
I see your face.
Shimmering and glowing,
The full moon rises to kiss evening.
I turn and, like a fickle mistress.
You're gone
Leaving but a memory to haunt me.
I walk the soft green woods
And sense your presence.
Misty and fragrant.
Your perfume steals away my heart.
I turn and, like a fickle mistress.
You're gone
Leaving but desire to taunt me.
The light of a young girl's eyes
Shines with you.
Laughing and blushing,
She calls to you in the spring.
I turn and, like a fickle mistress.
You're gone
Leaving but your fire to flaunt me.
Alone I watch you floating
To other hearts.
Touching and staying,
Joy and pain go in your wake.
I turn and, like a fickle mistress.
You 're gone
Leaving but emptiness to hurt me!

Awareness
By night
Rainsoaked and cool
We rest
Peacful
Calm
By day
Alive with light
We strive
Thoughtful
Serene
In life
Bursting with hope
We care
Compassionate
Loving
In love
Filled with joy
We share
Tender .
Soft
