About the Book

Mothers sadly do not often receive the praise they deserve for their self-sacrifice and hard work. Franklin Douglas sings of their wondrous works in his new poetry collection Ode to Motherhood. Via the medium of forty-five poetic short stories, he captures the philosophical and moral essence of mothers' emotions. Through vivid, vibrant prose, Douglas outlines the characteristics of earth's mothers and gives credence to the care, beauty, and purity of motherhood. His words resonate with all readers who have been touched by a mother's love, especially those who walk life's path of conscious seeking. These poems are genuine and true. Douglas hopes to educate the generations to come through his insights. His poems are minimemoirs that pay homage to both the biological as well as voluntary mothers of the world. Mothers are to be celebrated for their hard work and endless devotion. Setting the tone for children and adults of all ages, embrace the mothers in your life and thank them for all they've done.
About the Author: Nothing remains static forever, not even one's thoughts and dreams. Everything evolves, expands, and modifies to create a more dynamic society. If you are not conscious of the evolution of time and space, just look at where you were then and where you are now. Only then you can see where you are going. -Franklin W. Douglas It is with this kind of thinking that Franklin W. Douglas's passion for writing poetry began. He was born in Beckford Kraal Clarendon, Jamaica. At some point thereafter a dyslexic pattern exploded inside him that could not be contained or cooped up any longer. We may call it "the expulsion of an inquisitive curiosity" that wanted to come out, to unleash, to explore, to strip naked and expose its virtues. Two expatriate teachers impacted his secondary education during his tenure at the Edwin Allen High School. They brought his creative thinking, expressed in writing and analysis, to the fore. He took on writing poetry as an internal expression within dimensions, and it became the vessel for expression of his thoughts. Ever since starting in this genre, he remains on an explosive continuum, as he can see a horizon beyond the horizon that leads to infinitely more horizons. Franklin is a lifelong learner, always acquiring knowledge. His studies led him from the Jamaican School of Agriculture to Tuskegee University in Tuskegee, Alabama, where he earned a bachelor's degree in animal science. He was awarded a Canadian Commonwealth Scholarship to the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada, and earned a master of science degree in animal genetics. His studies, which were more scientifically based, did not stifle his creative writing skills. He chronicled a number of events, social issues, personal antidotes, and spiritual insights on the clarity of life and deaths that were happening around him, some in poetic form. Franklin's poetry is vivid, vibrant, and philosophical, yet his poems resonate with all readers, especially those who are on the conscious journey of life. His writing is holistic, and he is always making plans to educate the generations to come. Franklin is multifaceted and talented. His hobbies include gardening, plant and animal breeding, and, of course, writing poetry. He lives in Manchester, Connecticut, with his wife. Their only daughter has made them grandparents.
