Tribute to a Poet I read a poem the other day the image it brought to mind will just not go away. My heart was touched in such a way, this poet had so much to say and expressed it in such a way, that he exposed his very soul. It was all about another man's plight, but it was the writers insight that gave it life, and in doing so he allowed me to see inside his soul, which was not, his initial goal. I came away a richer person after I was allowed to see a poignant moment shared by a special person....nona |

Nona, this is really wonderful, and the poet you spoke of should feel quite honored. Poetry is such a powerful force, it often reveals much more than we realize or intend. |

Thanks so much for your feeback it is so reassuring that I may have once again found my "magic" pencil (my last post sometime ago) I have had a long dry spell and have taken to reading for inspiration and I guess you might say I found it.. I hesitate to reveal just who it was as I almost feel it would be an invasion into someones vulnerable spot. They are one among us though not that that should surprize anyone here......thanks again for your words nona |

...and that IS what it is all about, leaving behind a feeling, a message, a hint of who was here.... Yes Nona, they do have a way of touching us, do they not? |

wow didn't expect the response I got with this one.....but don't you see that if I gave it away then I would only rob you of the poem it bought to your mind because what I see as a special moment might not be so special for you at all and I would hate to spoil your moment.....hehe |
