William B. Burkholder is a talented, spirited, soulful writer who takes you on an experience with every word and verse that he writes.
In his newest collection of works "The Writer's Sight" William takes you on a journey of growth and learning. He has a way of describing a feeling, a smell or a surrounding that is so open and vibrant that you will smell the sycamores in "Summer Vacation", find a newfound respect for soldiers when reading "Black Boots" and respecting the strength of a cancer survivor in "A Survivor's Inspiration." If you are a person who loves poetry that touches the soul and allows you to travel with the writer, this is a wonderful collection of works that will remain in your soul and spirit for a very long time.

Winter Mourning,
children, mothers and men,
dead on the ground.
Winter Mourning,
The snow the color of roses.
Pallored and pink it runs and freezes,
under a cold, cold sky.
Frozen warrior with fingertips curled,
asking the photographer, why.
My tears like the rivers run,
Lamenting the loss
At the muzzles of those guns,
Aye,different times,
Aye, different days,
Aye that winter Mournin...
