Poeticus Pictoralis II Nautical & Natural by Crispin is the 2nd book in the series and is all about combining words in a pleasing poetry-based style to form beautiful vistas and hopefully interesting scenarios in the mind's eye, whilst the original paintings supplement those words and bring pleasure to your actual eye. The subjects are various and range from, robins, blackbirds, hedgehogs and roses to dangerous seas, predatory seagulls and epic adventure. The poetry is succinct, subtle and can be read at a number of depths, depending upon how deep one wishes to go (not unlike the sea). There are 60 separate poems in each of the books and the beauty of that is you can either dip in for a minute or two for a single poem, or you can spend an afternoon of uplifting enjoyment.
