Lighten Up A Little (paperback) John M. Floyd

Award-winning Mississippi author John M. Floyd is best known for his crime/suspense stories and his multiple mystery series featuring characters like Angela Potts, Chunky Jones, and Old West private eye Will Parker. Fans of those stories are often surprised to learn that Floyd has also published poetry in more than 100 different markets. His poems, however, are not about social issues or angst or philosophy. They are just fun. Their purpose is to make you smile, or maybe even Laugh Out Loud. As it turns out, the title of this book is also its message: We all need to take the world a little less seriously.
