Decades of thought and poetry about joy and sadness, merriment and spirituality, and other stuff that emerges from life experiences. From the profound to the ridiculous would be a fair evaluation!

Abstract:
UPHILL and DOWNHILL -- and Everywhere In-between is a compilation of thoughts and poems written over many years and in styles appealing to the old and the young. In two “booklets”, it covers the gamut of life experiences from joy to sadness, merriment to spirituality, questionings to awakenings, and profoundness to ridiculousness. A third “booklet” contains lyrics of songs--some in English and French--concerning hope, love, gratitude, wonderment, prayer, nature, merriment, and many other human emotions and experiences. Included are also two children’s songs: “The Alphabet Song,” and “Heidi and Polka” (about a dog and cat).

UPHILL, DOWNHILL & EVERYWHERE IN BETWEEN arrived in the mail Tuesday, just as visitors were knocking at the door. Since the family was spending a few days with us, and since most of us enjoy poetry, we spent that evening reading Connie Lemonde's poetry aloud, taking turns. What an enjoyable experience for each of us, even for the one person, who isn't really into poetry. Reading expressively and acting out the varying emotions described in each poem brought the reader and "audience" back to the time when the poems were composed. We found the poems all the more interesting because Ms Lemonde included the date some of them were composed. This helped us touch the emotional depth of certain poems by allowing us to relive a definite period in OUR lifetime, for instance, when we were in grammar school, or the Spring of 1966 when one was a child and the rest of us were young adults.
This was our first experience EXPERIENCING poetry in such a vivid manner. Thank you, Connie, for that.
