Poems, Lyrics and even a Tango form this Inspiring Collection

     

     

Romance, nature, spirituality, social issues and even comedy are painted by Fischer, influenced by Asian literature, world religions and mysticism. As Plutarch stated: “Poetry is a speaking picture. Painting a silent (mute) poetry.”

With a unique voice, Fischer shares his inspirations with readers as they can feel resonating heartfelt, succinct, somewhat Eastern philosophies:

“Owls and giraffes patiently listened as tree stumps moaned. They stared at early stars while clouds pleaded with missing moonlight. Instincts watched each other as man walked by talking of helicopters.”

– Owls and Giraffes

It was only natural for Fischer – at 10,000 feet by a mountain lake surrounded by seven waterfalls, tropical rain forest and orchids – that words began to flow in what became the poetic basis for “All but a Small Painting.” With a unique voice, Fischer shares his inspirations with readers as they enjoy his heartfelt, laconic poetry.
