Once Upon A Pretty Pencil

The thing I like best about poetry is how it causes you to really think out what you want to say. Because true poetry is thoughts laid out with-in a specific structure. That structure can be rhyming words rhythmic meter or even shape. The first poetry I read that formed a shape was by Dylan Thomas and I thought at that time how one would have to give precise consideration to how you are going to drive home your point or theme and stay confined to the structure. Then I realized that by staying in that structure the reader is forced to pay more attention to the words and will end up with a better understanding of the authors intentions.I want to thank my muse Ginger for supporting me in producing this book of poetry. Her beautiful art work was an inspiration for a lot of my writing and gave me good passage- ways to deep-deep thoughts.I hope you had fun and got a bit of a chuckle reading some of the whimsical poems; but more importantly listen to the words about being a true believing Christian and take lessons from them. May they strengthen your faith and hopefully bring a non-believer to Jesus Christ.?????.
