Climb the Red Mountain

Poems the likes of which I don't think I've heard since, maybe, Dr. Seuss!…Shel Silverstein!  That's who that poem, “I Don't Wanna Kiss a Llama!”, reminds me of!
Jim Cox, News Director, KEZK FM 102.5, St. Louis, Missouri

I thoroughly enjoyed the book.  Climb the Red Mountain would be a delight for anybody to read.
Bob Lilly, Pro Football Hall of Fame Defensive Tackle, Dallas Cowboys, 1961–1975

Byron's poetry combines the joy and pathos of the human experience with the peace and hope found in relationship with God, and one can feel the inspiration of the Holy Spirit in his work.  We're proud of his University of Tulsa heritage!
Bob and Marcy Lawless, President and First Lady, The University of Tulsa

Another once said “Poetry is a song of the soul.”  It's also a window into an author's heart.  In a delightful rhythmic way Byron von Rosenberg reveals both his delight and wonder with life along with capturing the darker shadows that often mar the emotional landscape of our lives.  Truly poets “march to the beat of a different drummer”, and this poet is no different.  Read and enjoy as you Climb the Red Mountain with him!
Dr. Dave Martin, Senior Pastor, “Concord…a church for everyone!”, St. Louis, Missouri

God sometimes chooses to give people talents outside of their training so that they will joyfully and willingly give Him the honor, praise, and glory for that gift.  In this way, others may come to understand that all things are truly possible with Him and that the promise of His kingdom is true.  Byron von Rosenberg, whose undergraduate degree is in engineering and who works as a sales manager, has answered such a call from God.  With topics ranging from spiritual gifts, worship, and romance to patriotism, fables, and llamas, each of the poems in Climb the Red Mountain is a special gift of the Holy Spirit written especially for someone, sometime, somewhere.
