    Gary Hawkes

    Gary Hawkes spent most of his child hood years on Whidbey Island in western Washington, aside from three years spent in Japan during his mother and step-father's Navy deployment. The experience of living in Japan and calling that country home and then moving back to the U.S., had quite the effect on the young aspiring writer; a unique perspective on what it means to be an American.Early on however, Gary's interests were mostly in music and sports. It was periodic encouragements from family and specifically a high school teacher that spurred Gary to pursue writing more diligently later on. Most of the writer's early work were simple short stories and some poetry.Several years after graduating college he published his first collection of poems and followed quickly after with several more books of poetry and short stories. Currently living in Washington State.

      Smashwords Edition

      Morning Dew

      During a greyish bleak, blanket of cloud day

      There was a bit of sorrow in not having much to say

      But alas, when I looked to the sky

      A bright light from the Heavens,

      A good morning HI!

      Hello!

      Welcome to the wide, wonderful world

      Breath in the day, live with vigor,

      And stop being so bored

      The warm vibes spread through

      With a simple upward glance

      Springy steps forward in the grassy morning dew

      Unfair

      Bold

      Foretold

      Sold, the aspirations of the legendary marauder of old

      In the bank

      The dank weltering of an inopportune deceptive flank

      Driving

      Reviving

      Surviving in the decaying place of what was before

      Now the land of continuous denying

      Wallowing hearing the words of despair

      How do we repair?

      It seems things
