In August of 2023 I moved from my home to an apartment complex known as Met Spires Apartments. It was a two-bedroom unit, with a marine view from my sunroom. As time passed, I began writing poems, and many of them dealt with my neighborhood surroundings. So far, I have 66 poems that I would like to publish, with some photographs to supplement some of my words. Through time my verse broadens to more topics that included my life and times as a 75-year-old. The Met Spires location on St. Helens Avenue is right above Commencement Bay and Dock Street. One can see the Tacoma Dome in one direction and part of Puget Sound in the other. Excellent views of Mt. Rainier can be seen from our rooftop patio, so it is a strategic spot. My sunroom has inspired many of the poems in this collection from boats, sunrises, and various personal items that sit around that space. Some local commercial establishments are also included, such as bars, bookstores, restaurants, and grocery stores. I have also dedicated poems to famous and noteworthy people in history, some of vi whom were friends that I met while I moved here. So, the 66 poems in this collection cover a wide range of topics and subjects that have been part of my life in recent years. The other topics listed here are cultural, political, and personal subjects that have much to do with my life as an old man and my liberal views on our state of the union. Our world has changed greatly in the past ten years and my reflections on this reality motivate me to write. The Met Spires Poems are a collection of these facets of my life and supplement my other poems that began in 1970. The pictures help to communicate this artistic reality
