    About this ebook

    The standards for this diversified collection of poetry are best defined under My Poetry Styles – My Honest Disclaimer: “I love writing... Poems or prose... But I must confess... Without apologies... My verses do not... Conform to the norm... Not Classic at all!”
    For the romantic ones, Chapter I has a great variety of Love Poems - some about eternal love and others not so lasting: “As the churning waves loudly roar, I feel the Déjà vu of a love by me ignored...”
    Inspirational and Motivational poems in Chapter II include“Don’t let that big glittering star... Forever be your darkest cloud.” Some poetical versions include essays appearing in Vol. I of this series: “There is no better feeling than feeling LOVED and WANTED - Two different concepts independent in their values but, when put together, they elevate the meaning of the word LOVE.”
    Chapter III covers Abstracts and Miscellaneous poems, such as... “Light in my shadow... Why did I question your game... When all the while you’ve been... A loyal guiding light... To keep me safe...” The next chapter covers two Spanish translations of works from this book “...Palabras al viento... Luna escondida... Entre estrellas perdidas... En el firmamento... Amour crescendo...”
    The next selection covers poems from published works, including Birdyjosh and Birdylu – A Paperbirds’ Story in a poem. Chapter V includes six poems appearing in the novel Sublime Adoption – A Tale of Love and Mendacity. Excerpt from “I Am Not Your Judge on Earth:”
    “I knew nada of my birth parents... Had no need to even search... That lack of knowledge, I’d say...Made them faceless... nothing beings... Inexistent they became... But something happened one day...” Chapter VI: Haiku poems.

    ABOUT MIRTA, THE ARTIST-WRITER Once a writer, always a writer! As a child, I used to write about anything that came to mind; later on,my writings were focused on essays, anecdotes and poems. But I also had a passion for painting, initially drawing the human figure, followed by oil renditions of landscapes and animals. When it became necessary to divert my full attention to a successful career path in banking, I had to put aside my artistic dreams. Down the road, after selective antiques collecting and planning, I opened my first store "Antiques are Forever," now inactive. My involvement in antiques brought me back to art. My new emphasis was to study the masters' techniques by visiting museums or from acquired antique paintings. My new artistic vision included abstracts and modernism. New creations included a series of over one hundred comic animals, several abstracts and, more recently, a series of paper birds set in a somewhat realistic environment. One day I realized that the paintings told a story; thus, the book-writing began. Birdyjosh and Birdylu, a Paper Birds' Story was published in 2011 in both paper back and eBook format. In 2012 a General Fiction young adult novel - Sublime Adoption, a Tale of Love and Mendacity - was published in Smashwords as an eBook. Another fully-illustrated book is in the works plus the Spanish version of the paper birds story, "Joseliyo y Lorilu, Mis Dos Pajaritos de Papel." Other projects include several novellas. For the artist at heart, the calling never fades . . .
