Can a tattoo be delicately placed? Porter, the accomplished wordsmith, will have readers believing it possible via his delicately placed words.

The delicate: skin, Noomi Rapace’s diminutive body, shhh, Rihanna’s svelteness, poetic vignettes, and, a rose.

The indelicate: punk, Stein’s face, the fleshy, mischievous leprechaun, Hemingway, and, thumps.

The secret of his writing is hinted at in the concluding lines; the lines he would have us tattoo on our bodies.

A word from each tells us about his honed gift: listen, answer, dance, important, and, creation. Porter possess an acute literary ear with which he listens to music, word cadence, and, life. He provides answers to life’s questions.

The man can dance. Recently I watched him on a Cuban dance floor lovingly glide with his just-married daughter.

He makes important connections that previously were not seen as important; if fact, they were not seen until he saw them. And, the creation is finalized giving a reader a new perspective with which to see and ponder.
