Acknowledgements

I acquired greater enthusiasm for poetry and learned some good writing techniques from Joseph Rees.

Dennis Rees and I both took Dr. Upton’s English course at Whittier College and Dennis was a coach in that class for 3 years. His input and editing for Book Two was very important to the accuracy of the book.

Forward to Book I Taxation

Book One is a debate about the pros and cons of taxation written in dialogue rhyming verse form. Many will only be interested in Book One. It functions as a stand-alone book, discussing fifteen different aspects of taxation. Included in the dialogue are examples of the following imagery techniques: Similes, Similitudes, Metaphors, Irony and Puns, witch are discussed in book II of this volume. It is for those who wish to master such imagery techniques and add color, interest, and depth of meaning, humor and help raise poetry from simple verse to literature.
