 There are those who dig deep uncovering nuggets from earth’s formations and some finds are those rocks of flint which the poet hones to its sharpest point and say, “This, is my poem.” There are some who skim blue-green depths only to dive even deeper, finding solace in salted words unfathomable, just to pluck an oyster, then find their pearl, and say, “This, is my poem.” My own arrow remains pointed skyward, where the barest wisp of cloud begins, for I know it will form to thunder and rain, clashing light with dark, or, perhaps, remain a wisp, and float away, and I say, “This, is my poem.” And we are one, and all, in the hope that someday we may be, poets. Karilea - if I whisper, will you listen? Keeping in mind, I must stand close... |

And when words can bring a shiver to my shoulders and soul...they are the words of a poet... Well done Sun, very well done. |

I like this a lot. Excellent as usual. SusanHappiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

One can always rely on your words to show what poetry can be and to inspire improvement in our own. Well said. KJ Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |
