After Midnight: Poems and Pontifications presents a collection of poetry written over a span of sixty years. Manfredos early writings reflect the idealism, spirituality, and wonderment of youth, questioning the meaning of life and describing dreams and aspirations. The collection then traces the evolution of his style into a sophisticated and passionate maturity. During the last score of years, his poetry demonstrates an acceptance of the realities of life, sometimes expressing a sense of both resignation and whimsy. As a life presented in poetry, After Midnight offers a journey of emotional growth, which finally and inevitably arrives at an awareness and graceful acceptance of mortality. Gettin OldI look in the mirrorand say a prayerOf thanks to the Godsthat my face is still there. My locks are much thinnerMy face is less fair. Glad Ive lived long enoughto lose my hair. Dying young, while good-lookin,Aint a bargain to me. Livin long, causin trouble,Thats where I want to be. So Ill linger a while longerKinda messin with you. When I finally departYoull be glad I will too!
