Louis has been a Fine Art painter since 1957. In 2013 he began to write poetry. He says the following, "Writing a poem is like painting a picture. One begins with a stimulus. Something seen or felt in life, triggers the imagery. A painting can be poetic, and a poem paints a picture with words. These poems sum up my year in writing. They cover a wide range of topics, to include, Love, Hate, God, Forgiveness, Myths, the World, the Universe and more.
