Did You Expect Just the Usual Rose?

The short poems in Did You Expect Just the Usual Rose? reflect Paul Highby's unique perspective, and their subject matter ranges from the whimsical-the crocodile who wears Crocs(TM)-to the much more weighty-such as the dreamer who comments that "you must die to visit the dead." Often light in tone, Paul's poems are highly accessible, even when addressing serious subjects, and easily memorable.
