For Ordinary People Like Me

It is my hope that as you read the stories and thoughts contained in these poems you will find that you are reading about yourself. If you love animals, and especially dogs, you will share my stories of love and treasured memories with them. I have tried to fill this book with an appreciation of life, our environment and the responsibility we all share for the future. You will revisit and hopefully relive many of your childhood times. Most will bring a smile to your face while a few may cause a lump in your throat. You will feel the weather and the emotions it brings as it changes through the seasons. You will share the coming of the night and the miracle of first light driving it away. You will find poems about nature and the plants, animals and creatures that constitute it. You will read about rural life on a farm in times long gone by as well as now.

5Down To Earth But Eloquent  Jul 10, 2006
Ed Frasier has written a book that is exquisite. At the same time his poetry is down to earth but eloquent. The title of his book "For Ordinary People Like Me" is very appropriate.

One of his poems named "Price Check" made me smile even laugh a little. Anyone who has shopped has, at one time or other, been in the situation of moving from one line to another to get out quicker and then hearing the infamous words "price check." "Ode To Tanner" is another poem that anyone, who has had a pet and it passed on, will once again feel the emotions of its passing.

My personal favorites are his poems about ducks; there is just something about these creatures of God that I just love. Ed with his great words describes in detail these critters from the time that they were newly hatched, learning to fly and when they left the pond. The four poems that describe each event are indeed enjoyable to read.

One of his most thoughtful and a poem to ponder is "One Life." It is a short poem but gives you plenty of food for thought - a short poem but with a powerful theme.

Anyone who reads this book will find something that they have experienced in their own life. I recommend this book of poetry by Ed Frasier to anyone who is an ordinary person.
