In "Ordinary Inspiration," Brian Wayne Maki offers a collection of poems that ask the reader to pay attention to all the little gifts that exist in everyday life; as many of Brian's nostalgic poems reveal, ordinary moments are usually those that are the best. And the moment of the most meaningful memories.
In a straightforward, honest introduction, Brian is a computer instructor and poet who expresses his frustration and worry about how technology separates people because we allow hours and nights in front of the computer, so it's full of nothing. Communication of meaning. The screen replaces the opportunity for us to learn about nature and learn from each other through personal interaction. For example, in "Tiny Cell Phone," Brian commented, "Mobile phones make us a lazy contributor / we are really thinking, driving and rare."
However, Brian does not focus on technology, but focuses on positive moments in life. Most of his poems highlight some seemingly ordinary moments, but they become extraordinary for them - these moments bring pleasant memories, life lessons and a perception of personal growth. Poetry continues to focus on the personal connection with nature and the value of personal relationships, from friendship to becoming a parent, to finding love. The value of interpersonal relationships is particularly emphasized in "White Dove Flying".
Most of Brian's poems have a gentle and nostalgic taste for them, although he occasionally turns to a more terrible moment in life, as he wrote in the "Nightwalker", who wrote a drunk man working from home. . Although like Brian, I tend to be an optimist, maybe my favorite poem is "Tough Love" because it has an ironic taste, reminiscent of Thomas Hardy's work, through the recurring end of each section. One line: "But you will soon know how hard love is."
Although readers will find that their favorite poems resonate with them, in the end all these poems remind people that when we look for this meaning, life is a journey of meaning. We may find meaning in the sunset or snowy days, but we can also find it in what Brian calls "the pit of life": "You must make mistakes to learn and move on / you must learn Avoiding the pit life. "He reminds us that we are all looking for and trying to find meaning and inspiration in ordinary life; in "life skills," he wrote, "For those who can create a solid life / don't forget Where are you from and how you did it." Brian firmly believes that he will eventually achieve good results in life, and because we learn from difficulties, he asks readers to share what they have learned with others who are struggling. Know how. For this reason, Brian wrote his own poems, hoping to bring inspiration and hope to others.
As Brian reminds us in the title poem, "The amazing thing is that an ancient barren road/tree in the early morning is standing in the grassy jungle." Readers will find it in ordinary life. Finding the magic, Brian's poems may help point out the correct direction in which they find magic.
