Dear Reader, I want to personally thank you for selecting my second poetry book to read, which you may have purchased or received as a gift. This book is a continuation of a personal journey for me dealing with the theme of, Listen. I believe we truly only hear a fraction of what is spoken to us, which is highly dependent upon one's individual interest. My quote on the front cover is evident of this, I believe it's unfortunate that so often we hear words but don't really listen to them!!! I hope that you be able to identify and connect with some of these poetic sketched impressions on listening that may relate to your own personal experiences covering a full spectrum of emotions. Enjoy! In keeping with the theme Listen! the ear used on the front cover and other graphics was created by my nephew Leander, Jr., now 10 year old. The author's portrait on the back cover was drawn by my niece Nakia when she was five years old in November 2000, which has a prominent spot on my refrigerator. This is the second of several books in the Poetically Sketched poetry series. In the future I plan to include children's books and short stories. Thank you and have a Blessed One!!! Debra C. Ridgeway
