The Sword and the Salve In the written word's warrant lies the sword and the salve, when the pen, in Truth's time weathered fingers we have placed, eager, such missives for all yet to read. The verses, sweet sonnets of thought and of deed. Though tenderly turned, most sincerely seductive, enchanting in timbre and amorous octave, still poets and prose promise oft to unite us, finding footfalls, our own, 'long the paths that divide us. |

A great poem, so very well done. In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. (ee cummings) |

Another great one Meadowmuse, keep them coming. Craig Yes, I admit your general rule. That every poet is a fool: But I myself may serve to show it. That every fool is not a poet. |

BRAVO!! This is just great! ~*~ ^i^ ~*~ Love is such a lonely art, and death is but a taste. Minds are merely instruments that often go to waste! ~*~ ^i^ ~*~ |
