Someone asked her to picture herself in words And to describe herself to them as best she could She placed the pen to paper Nervously As she was not accustomed To displaying her self image To others Slowly the ink drew a straight line Symbolizing the way to her heart The next mark Was a gentle but pronounced curve Harrowing the top of the line Sloping to the right And connecting midway Showing the way to the center of her core However curving...still she was whole Capitalizing her passion Dotting a single period Confident That it was unnecessary for her to clarify For it was as perfect as a welcomed Scarlet letter. The letter P. For Poet Leaving just enough To the imagination It's all in the mind |

While I do not disagree in any way that you are indeed a wonderful poet...to limit the description of the inner you to one letter would be selling short the depth and beauty you have shared and shown us. A poet...philosopher...a gentle heart all are but a part I think of what you are inside... as usual..a unique and wonderful write from your pen to our eyes... |

Dear Regina, I am sure that every letter in the alpabet alone could not describe the true you, there would be a need for a whole palete of colour, a brush, an artist and the backdrop of imagination, a stick figure description no. You've a mind filled with dreams, a hand filled with talent and a heart to share. Regina the poet, buy the beauty in your words we picture you each day. Great work Regina once again. Sincerely Rick |

Showing the way to the center of her core However curving...still she was whole Capitalizing her passion Dotting a single period Confident That it was unnecessary for her to clarify For it was as perfect as a welcomed Scarlet letter The perfect verse. Speechless. |
