Partly Sunny, With A Chance Of Laughter

JIM and KAREN SEAMAN have been married for 53 years

often writing poems to each other. Jim is a retired 5th and

6th grade elementary school teacher who went back to

college at age 51 to acquire his teaching certificate. Karen

has worked as an animal keeper at the Los Angeles Zoo,

a freelance muralist and a medical assistant. Jim started

writing poetry to Karen which was on the plus side of fair,

but scored lots of brownie points. Eventually he improved

his poetic writing ability and amassed a collection of over

200 poems about everyday life, social issues, politics, family

and controversial topics with most having powerful endings

that will make the reader question, wonder, think and smile.

Jim and Karen frequently worked as a team thus elevating

their finished product to a higher level.
