The Dawn of Peace

Rob Vogel has been writing poetry for many years, unwilling to publish them, until after intense period of work and writing he was forced to think further than just 'Poetry for me' and began his more unrestricted way of showing his poetry in book form to the public.

Rob Vogel has been a creator for his whole life, mostly in painting, drawing and illustrations. Initially poetry was alien to him, however as his life progressed, he felt the need to use words to express the spirit that I saw in my own paintings, but few people understood this. Now in his more 'mature years' and living alone with his own thoughts and his feelings, within the mountains and forests of the south of France. He began to understand the need to use an unpretentious way of writing down his own feelings and experiences in a poetic way. He wanted a way where his heart and soul would be visible and discover itself, without losing their ways. This book is a more modern overture in his personal poetry writing.

Written poetry is like a summer's day, when the soft winds bathe our heads. However, personal poetry still relies strongly on oblique suggestions and a strong personal melodic theme, with imagination plus a clear and simple substance as needed, otherwise, it can often become dissonant.
