WESTCHESTER, N.Y., Nov. 21, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- In a book of lighthearted poems titled Life Songs (now available through 1stBooks), Ellen Alexander transfers her best memories into rhythmic, catchy poems that can be easily transformed into musical lyrics.
A lyrical journey through life's most unforgettable moments, the book includes writings about her memories of childhood days, the changes one faces growing up as a teenager and the challenges of parenthood. She writes about everything from the joys of owning a pet to the delight of favorite foods. Pleasures such as the love of a spouse, children's silly questions and enthusiasm for life radiate from the pages. Alexander's book uplifts readers' spirits and warms the soul.
In her "life" section, she writes: "Happiness is writing 'bout/Things I love without a doubt/Children, music, Chinese food/Put me in the greatest mood..."
Her love of music is illustrated in one poem. She writes, "Let your kids be music smart/ With all their sports there's little art/ Play an instrument, sing a song/ Tap your foot or clap along..."
This heartwarming collection of poems is a poignant, whimsical compilation that reminds readers of their own fond childhood memories.
Alexander lives in New York with her husband, their two children and assorted pets. A 40 something mom who still plays the drums, she has published several other books, including MusiKids Playbooks 1 and 2, On a Roll, Double Drumming, Sticks 'n Tones and Does Chocolate Milk Come From a Brown Cow?
