About the Book
A Collection of Poetry is filled with experiences of romance, nature and the extra special people that has given a lifetime of riches by just being there.

The poem Virtual Flowers most definitely says it best about family and friends. The poems about my family is pretty much self-explanatory whereas there is some dedications. The poem My Commander in Faith is special also because I feel that by my testament in writing about where I stand in faith and work yet to be. Helped express other feelings in writing A Collection of Poetry. The acronym FTSMC included in the poem The PL Level, is about the soldiers and civilians who worked at the Full-Time Support Management Center of Saint Louis.

About the Author
(Cecil F. Ross Jr,)

I was born in Manhattan, New York and moved to a small country town called Schaghticoke, in upstate New York in the early seventies with my parents and sister. My education was very diverse with my main concentration being in Medical Sociology after joining the Army in which I have enjoyed almost eighteen years of military experience. My pen name (Zonta Spider) which I had taken on a few years ago is also used for my Musical Compositions as well.

Entertainer of the Gulf

An entertainer of the beach
came by yesterday.
Singing one of those old
classic favorites along the
gulf.
Thus not missing a beat with
the radio.
The Tern's head thrusting back
and forth throughout the whole
performance.
Beak seemly opened and closed
while the Tern did surprisingly
act out in a most expressive
way.
Voice chattering, while standing
in place.

A Winter's Night

On this winter night, I saw
this bright beaming through
the window ever so slightly.
Just a hint of moon's
reflective light.
Moving toward the door
just you and me.
We look out into the
midnight sky.
To a full moon we did look
and glanced at each other
only for a second.
Your hand in mine with, eyes gazed in amusement.
Our first December Moon
together.
