This book of poetry by Mario E. Lombardo includes assorted verses (Haiku, Odes, Homages) in this beautifully minimalist pocketbook of poetry. The verses are easily interpreted theme-driven gems. Ex: Homage to Browning: "Love should exceed its passion Or else what's our brain for." Mario E. Lombardo, is also the author of YA books: Orphan Ollie Opts Out, Orphan Ollie Opts In, Christy Park and a Children's Book, Ralph the Star Elf, (Santa's Little Secret), Lovely book. I have many favorites: Homage to Robert Browning and How Do I Measure Our Love are at the top and laughed at OP ED. Born: Pittsburgh, PA Education: Duquesne University, Georgetown University
