Dallas Author Publishes New Book

"Poems to Enjoy," a new book by Jim McCurry, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

A Cottage Small by a River Wall

The cottage small
Stands by a river wall
Listening to the water
Rushing to a rocky waterfall.
Many years ago
What a beautiful sight to see
A small, simple cottage
And for someone a home to be.
The river is unstoppable
Time has taken its toll
The cottage now is unlivable
And soon gravity will take hold.
And the river wall
Will no longer hold the cottage small.
