Wine Me Dine Me Dance Me Romance Me

<p>Wine Me Dine Me Dance Me Romance Me reads like an evolving collage of romantic experiences framed in poetic style. In many ways</p><p>the collection represents an autobiographical sketch in romance. It begins by providing snapshots of Gene Hewett's early relationships</p><p>evolves to romantic accounts as viewed through the eyes of a fictional son and concludes with romantic descriptions provided by that son's</p><p>daughter. The collection has a traditional table of contents a second one titled Musical Inspiration (which includes QR codes) and a</p><p>third titled Photographic Images.</p><p><br></p><p>The second table of contents illustrates the author's desire to match specific songs the majority of which are rhythm and blues</p><p>such as Ain't No Way to each poem. In the short run the author envisions that the collection will be made available in electronic form</p><p>as a paperback and for hardcover distribution. In addition owing to the musical theme the author anticipates that the collection can be</p><p>presented in audiobook form. In the long run the author anticipates that it may be possible to package the collection in a stage-production</p><p>format (complete with a speaker background music and PowerPoint images-with optional dance choreography).</p><p><br></p><p>The third table of contents shows the author's ability to enhance the spirit and mood of each poem by linking them to a digital image</p><p>obtained from the istockphoto.com or corbisimage.com websites. The majority of the digital images were based upon floral themes such</p><p>as Close-Up View of a Pink Rose and landscape themes such as Wildflowers at Malibu Beach. Several digital image selections such</p><p>as Glass of Wine with Cork and Rosebuds departed from the floral and landscape patterns in order to further highlight a unique mood.</p><p><br></p>
