My Story
Henry Lansing Woodward
After serving during the Vietnam War era, Mr. Woodward became a Paramedic in Honolulu, Hawaii. Because of this profession, he was able to support himself and travel extensively, visiting or living in forty-six countries, all the while keeping a journal of the whole fifteen-year adventure. Many of his stories and poems are derived from those journals.
Mr. Woodward has written and published two books as well as several short stories. His first was his book titled, “Yard Sale Today,” a small book about how to run your Yard Sale. The second is called “The Chorus of Life & The Story Book of Poems,” a book of poetry. A third book is about one day in his life as a Paramedic and is currently in printing. and is titled “Lights and Sirens.” It will be released in about a month. For the future, Mr. Woodward has three completed manuscripts of poetry ready for publishing when the time is right.
Just One Masterpiece
If I could write just one,
A poem to last through time.
To take pen to paper and make,
A poetic reputation mine.
To realize poetry lovers,
Feel my poems are worth a read.
To know they seek them by my name,
For their poetry hunger to feed.
To find the words I need,
To tell a message bold.
To see my poems in poetic history,
For generations to behold.
To know they hold them in their hands,
Not wanting to put them down.
To feel some joy in realizing,
My poems are being found.
To walk among the Masters,
Those Eternals already known.
To be invited to sit beside them,
These are the things I seek,
Before I rest in peace.
These, and to write a poem for the ages,
Just One Masterpiece.
