A POET’S HEART. A poet’s heart’s an endless thing, Ubiquitous, encompassing. It knows no bound nor borderline, Or darkness where it may not shine. A poet’s heart’s a joyful thing, It likes to laugh, and loves to sing. It lifts the spirit, holds it high, Then dances like a firefly. A poet’s heart’s a fragile thing, As brittle as a monarch’s wing. That flutters on a breath of air, The secrets of its soul to bare. A poet’s heart’s a vicious thing, Its bite is like a hornet’s sting. For it will strike just as and when It feels the censure of its pen. A poet’s heart’s a caring thing, Both empathy and hope to bring. A sunbeam’s touch it can impart To mollify the saddened heart. A poet’s heart’s a timeless thing, Whose ancient bell sustains its ring. That through the years, it may adorn Those generations yet unborn. ©2000 Rod Walford |

Wow - this is fantastic - as is all of your work. Very insightful. K'...I want to be free - free to know people and their backgrounds - free to move to different parts of the world...' Sylvia Plath |
