The poems in A Poem and a Picture are presented chronologically, as written. They are love and life poems, and shift between emotional, physical, and cerebral in essence. The purpose of publishing this book is to offer ideas to the world, hoping their portrayal is original. The photographs are for enjoyment. Even those with the good fortune to have love in their lives, good health, and peace of mind should look inside to find ways to appreciate those things further. By perusing two or three poems, perhaps you will be drawn in and not miss something interesting. I hope you find something you like.
