Come on along and fly with me
Across the forest of poetry trees,
Glide oer a rhyme and meter sky
Through a foliage of verses floating by.

Words and ideas in the poems found here
Are written to please a discerning ear.
Some carry no message, some humor alone,
While others convey a more serious tone.

Whatever your pleasure, I trust you will please
Remember the forest of poetry trees,
And once you detect what the verses contain,
Read and enjoy, then come back again.
