    So amazing, Ralph, how much can be said, inferred or defined in brevity. Also, the emphasis on a thought or moment is so strong! Very creative! Sheri

      Thank you Sheri. I often see a strong image or situation, and months or even years later articulate a verse! I an pleased you like them. The format is from whiSpers' recent activities. Ralph

    Thank you for your comments. I am not sure where my art-sketchbook ends and my poem sketch-book begins! Quite astute of you! The kite often appears in my work. Thank you for dropping by. Ralph

    Hello. The Legends for Lunchtime book is available from Lulu.com I believe Apple stores do a Kindle version, but I haven't tried it! If you give your email address to Karen, our editor, she can always pass it on to me, and I can send you a sample that way! Thanks for your comments and dropping by. Ralph.
