Herein are penned one hundred verses. One hundred verse pages plus the other extra pages needed to complete the book structure is about the right number for a publisher to create a "spine" wide enough to print the title of the book. So, here it is, "Verses From a Life, Volume Nine." Frankly, I did not think that my life span would accommodate the completion of Volume I, let alone completing nine. The miracle of modern medicine has kept me with my basket of comorbidities alive and kept my fingers sufficiently limber to type almost as fast as I did as a middle-aged man. Actually, my paramount difficulty, after finishing nine books of poetry, is coming up with additional worthy themes to elucidate in a poem that I haven't already done. Most of the common leitmotifs like "love" have been "poemed" to death. Alas, thoughts like death itself is an overworked topic in literature and one that, at my age, my wife does not like me to continually explore.

The poems, in one way or another, were inspired by my wonderful wife Deborah Kay Cimasi. Our marriage has endured the vicissitudes of time for well over a half-century.

I hope my Chinese speaking and reading friends will find it enjoyable. 《约翰-洛夫斯-黛布》是我（约翰-路易斯-西马西）多年来撰写并出版的爱情诗合集。 这些诗，不管怎样，都是受到我出色的妻子黛博拉-凯-西马西的启发。 我们的婚姻经历了半个多世纪的风雨沧桑。 JOHN LOVES DEB 的第二个版本已被翻译成"简体字"。 我希望我的说中文和读中文的朋友会觉得它很有趣。
