Jeffrey Krueger started writing Dad's 100 Poems, Riddles, and Songs in 100 Days on September 20, 2021, finishing on December 29, 2021. He began exploring writing as a challenge to his dyslexic learning disorder in 2004. Now, he had a new challenge: to write one hundred poems, riddles, and songs in one hundred days. It was a crazy idea since he only had written several poems prior.

The whole concept became interesting when he talked to his brother. After emailing a few poems to him to see what he thought, he replied by saying "Don't quit your day job."

Jeff replied, "I don't have a day job." His brother continued by telling him the story of their father boasting about how he was going to finish a book of poems and make a lot of money to take care of them.

In his autobiography, he explained the difficult journey his father had with his alcohol and sickness. He could barely keep a job, let alone write a book of poems. Jeffrey explained to his brother that he had several of his dad's poems and maybe he could figure out some meaningful way to pass them on. So, he set out to finish what his dad started, beginning with Dad's 100 Poems, Riddles, and Songs in 100 Days and ending with his dad's original poems.

His poems range from sometimes silly subjects, a mouse, socks circus, balloons, clouds, to more serious reflections on his life, loss of a loved one, addiction, abuse, depression, divorce, and also recording daily moments of the surroundings and habitat around him. Some commentary on certain subjects' freedom, sports, war, and the environment. Many of his poems are also a reflection of his Judeo-Christian faith, believing in the power of prayer and the healing power of God's Holy Spirit. His hope is that this book of poems will inspire others to challenge and overcome a small part of their dyslexic learning disorder and help families in need.
