Images of the Heart: The Author’s Mind

Images of the Heart: The Author’s Mind is just the thoughts or emotions of Samuel’s other book, Images of the Heart, which is a collection of writings in rhythmic poetry form penned by Samuel R. Merritt Sr. Most of these writings were inspired by the request or actions of others. In Samuel’s other book, sometimes simple statements from others was all the inspiration that was needed. Each poem tells a story in its own way. They relate the hope of feelings that others want to express to another. Yet, these words are stated through the view and incite of the poet. He reveals a different perspective from the considered normal view. His words are not from inside the box out, but from outside the box in. The words are designed to tell the story of the subject of the poem, from the view point of the subject. That is the subject is telling you its own story so you can see from its eyes what it sees.
