Nature remains as the backdrop of all Donny’s poems. He finds the elements of nature to coincide nicely with all the images which stay as present in the poem. Each body of work strives to show and pursue meaning through using nature's backdrop as a forum for understanding the subject of each poem. The possibility of understanding metaphors and understanding themes exists with the dissection of what lurks in the expression of nature and the types of nature which remain in the world around the poet and reader collectively.

Donny Barilla has been a poet for thirty seven years and writes enthusiastically and puts forth his poems with much energy, expressive creativity and precise delicacy which places them with tenderness and individuality. He longs to strive through each poem with intense imagery and blended metaphors which tremble across the page and fulfill the reader in a wealth of joy for each line and each word.
