A picture is worth a thousand words. But, words can evoke vivid pictures in the mind. As a painter uses his colors to create images that touch the soul, the poet uses his words to achieve the same effect. 

The poems in this volume, it is my hope, will create images that touch the readers heart and soul. They are the product of the poet's observations of the world around him.

Several of these images reflect his perception of the world as he is out and about, some are the images he perceives when awakening in the morning--that point when dream and reality seem to merge.

The poet hopes that these images will provoke thought, and will bring the read some measure of enjoyment.
