Poetry is the language of our hearts as it sings of our
passions for living, nature, beliefs and hope.
As it sorrows for each lost friend, lover, child and dream.
As it grows in search of peace, understanding, faith and of
truths.
As it sees the world thru new eyes, new ears, new realities
from ancient scripture to modern prose.
Poetry is verbal art. It will be ugly and it will be
beautiful.
It should tear the soul and revive the spirit.
It should change the world but not forget it.
Poetry is for anyone who will pause to listen or stop to
read.
It cannot be barred from all who would write it…
But it should be protected from those who would demean it,
strip it of meaning, commercialize or silence its voice.
Poetry is a person’s song for all people.
