More DescriptionThe thing I like best about poetry is how it causes you toreally think out what you want to say. Because truepoetry is thoughts laid out with-in a specific structure.That structure can be rhyming words, rhythmic meter oreven shape. The first poetry I read that formed a shapewas by Dylan Thomas and I thought, at that time, howone would have to give precise consideration to how youare going to drive home your point or theme and stayconfined to the structure. Then I realized that bystaying in that structure the reader is forced topay more attention to the words and will end up with abetter understanding of the authors intentions.I want to thank my muse "Ginger" for supporting me inproducing this book of poetry. Her beautiful art workwas an inspiration for a lot of my writing and gave megood passage- ways to deep-deep thoughts.I hope you had fun and got a bit of a chuckle readingsome of the whimsical poems; but more importantly,listen to the words about being a true believing Christianand take lessons from them. May they strengthen yourfaith and hopefully bring a non-believer to Jesus Christ.Richard Zuspan
