Search for all my books under Dr. John WorldPeace JD.Dr. John WorldPeace JD NOTESI was born in 1948, in Houston, Texas.In October 1970, I wrote my first poem of the poems that I am publishing. Over the next 48 years, I wrote about 2400 poems. Most of the poems could be looked at as a short biography of my life; one page snap-shots of what I was thinking or experiencing in the moment.I have at times published a selection of the poems. In June 2018, I began to self-publish the selections of poems and all the poems I have ever written to date (about 2400) in chronological order using Amazon's CreateSpace. There will be about 30 books in total. I jumped around and did not publish the various books in chronological order. I expect to finish this project in August 2018.I will continue to write poems and in fact, will probably increase the volume of poems over the coming years. I also intend to pick a theme like Santa Fe, New Mexico and write a book about my impressions there. The number of possible subjects is infinite.I have also published a book of Haiku which are 3 line poems with 5, 7, 5 syllables per line. I would expect to publish a book of these poems annually and also some theme books of Haiku.My genetics and my current state of health make me confident, barring some accident, that I will live past 100.I do not force my poems. I don't write unless I feel inspired. I have no desire to set a world record for number of poems written in a lifetime.The poems are written in a couple of minutes, 2-10, then put away in a binder by year. I have lost less than a dozen poems over the years. Usually within 5-10 minutes after writing the poem I have no real memory of what I wrote. However, if I reread it, I will have a familiarity with what I wrote. The changes I make when publishing are very few. (Maybe 1 word in every 10 poems)
