      Mosaic - Lee Robbins

      Mosaic.

      L.Robbins.

      Text Copyright 2020©Lee M Robbins.

      Introduction.

      ––––––––

      Over the years I have released many pieces of poetry. Letting go of them, letting them float away, balloons lifted with heart and passion, believing they deserved a much better home, than I could give them. Some I cast away, like confetti at a wedding, with whimsy in my heart, others like seeds from the farmer’s hand, hoping some would find good earth and sustenance, then grow. With each collection independent from the release before, they were fragmented parts of a greater puzzle. Now, the time is right for me to gather, reform, and present my vision of the human condition. Welcome to my world. Welcome to Mosaic.

      Lee.
