In this book may be found poetries derived from three sources: abstract art, new poems and those copied directly from short prose and put into poetic form. Having discovered abstract art through my own photography, I have taken a poetic approach to find out what each artwork means. I'm not sure I found out, but the idea stimulated my imagination to whatever poetic attempts you may find.New verses followed as in most poems as a record of whatever feelings were in me at this arbitrary time. For these, I have no excuses, so I'm willing to live with whatever results they might bring forth and try to go on with life.The final third of this book has been taken directly from already-written prose. Oversimplifying, I could say prose is written horizontally to fit a standard book page, while poetry is written vertically in short paragraphs with spaces in between. What they have in common is what each has to say.

Perhaps that's the main criterion we must use to judge their worth.
