"Of Love" Dancing With Words. The perfect gift for a romantic wishing to express the depth of their feelings to the one they love. The illustrations coupled with the poetry make it delight for the senses. Dancing with Words reads like a minstrel of poems, like the writer; a true Troubadour, Gene Washington who can be found strolling the streets of Manhattan seeking inspiration and entertaining all who care to step off the treadmill of the 21st Century. Each of his poems is different yet connected by the underlying themes of Mr. Washington's romantic soul. There are some great simple poems that are universally touching, like the poems, "Echo" and "Dancing with Words". Washington also has the ability to construct entertaining poems in a narrative style. Like the poem, "Hope" which he describes his experience finding a broken heart lying on the ground. It is apparent that this poet doesn't just write in a metaphoric style, but rather lives it as well.
