In this book the reader shall chance upon a voyage of of the heart, a voyage equally disheartening, beauty, the importance of owning a pet. Also a plea to do away with arms, the joy of a good fish dinner, precious stones, to beware birds of field and their gatherings, a heeding to beware of clowns, boy's first kiss with a dolphin, a flower girl who rather not,etc. "JUST A WORD OR TWO" takes the reader on a trip to the world of prose and enthralls with the magic of the moment as the reader takes off on a magic carpet ride into a wonderland of verses. It also introduces the reader to poetry a bit off the beaten path which would most certainly be a sight for sore eyes. Therefore for those poetry followers whom seek engrossing reading there is a wealth of perusing covering a quite diverse number of topics. It should altogether make for a welcomed wealth of more varied subject matter.
