    About this ebook

    Do you wonder if there's more to the things you encounter every day? Are there questions about them lingering in the back of your mind you've never known you wanted to ask?

    Freestyle poet Joe Stout takes a look at everyday things in his new poetry collection Painting With Words: Poems About Simple Things. Using his pencil as a dissecting tool, poems in the collection examine everything from cheap whiskey to liver and onions. Along the way, you'll come to see these things through his eyes and understand the role they play in his world.

    It's easy to overlook the simple things. This collection of poems will make them stand out and make you see them in a new light.
