My name is Jeff Alan Meints and I have been writing poetry for over twenty years, since the seventh grade at Hidden Valley Middle School in Escondido, California. This is the fourth book in the series titled, The Road Less Traveled, which are poems written during the years of 2000 to 2016. These were the days of finding love, getting married, opening a small business, acquiring educational degrees later in life, divorce, homelessness and starting all over from scratch. I hope you enjoy this road less traveled. Check out the other poem books in the series, Childlike Ways (1991 - 1996), Youthful Trips (1994 - 1999), and Enter Adulthood (1997 - 2000).
