"Welcome to “Poetry from the Heart, The Unpretentious Notions of a Minimalistic Man”. This collection of my works will transport you into the early morning hours…to a very tranquil time, when the only company you will have is the illuminating gray of pre-dawn and your own heartbeat. Feel the wonder experienced in such a time and place, where you are the only visitor and the host, in touch with yourself in solitude, where you can look and feel within yourself. Here…you will be drawn into the feelings and notions which I have about life and the world around us. I hope you will relax and ride along on the magic carpet of emotion, thought, joy and sometimes anger at the wonders of the world we live in." S. Watt

Here is a grest book about a young boy back in 1963 when times were tough and hunting was a mainstay for putting food on many a family table. The story is about turning that magic age of twelve when you can join in on the annual buck hunting tradition in an area of central Pennsylvania. This story starts at the boy's twelfth birthday and encompasses the next three years of his hunting life. It ends in the present day with many reflections about family, fun and tradition missing from so many present day lives. The story line is so vivid and descriptive that you will be drawn into the actual story as though you were there in 1963 as the story unfolds.

A Story of a Woman, a Man, Four Dogs, Some Land and Their Dreams...
This story begins somewhere in the fall of 2004 and tells of two middle aged people that were afforded the chance to start a new life in an upstate, New York farming area, with four dogs, a piece of land and their wildest dreams. First they were acquaintances, through the sale of a puppy....Skip the breeder; Vicki...the person looking for a puppy to fill the hole in her heart left when Millie died earlier. A friendship developed as the puppy grew and Vick’s husband Carl’s cancer worsened. After Carl died, Vick sold her New Jersey home and found a nine acre property in upstate New York and asked if Skip would visit to inspect the house before buying it. He agreed and the story begins...and hasn’t ended yet.

Back in the sixties...life was different. It was a diverse era with extraordinary values and surprising interests...there was little money, with less value, so life was tough...but life was good.
Marysville was located in Centre County, Pennsylvania ...next to the Scotia Barrens...a 6,200 acre plot encompassing some twenty-five square miles of pitch pine and scrub oak. There were several hundred acres of privately and commercially owned land next to that, which created an endless playground for the kids of the local residents. I was one of those kids and in this book, I am recounting some of the more memorable moments of my childhood as we enjoyed “Life in a Barren’s World.”
