“O TEACHER! -- whence poem? --

Wouldst tellest thou me?”

“Wroughteth, lad, word-smith --

Whom 'poet' call we.”

“Whence 'poet?' -- O Teacher!

Would ask I of thee?” --

“Groweth, lad, forest --

Upon Poet-Tree.”

there is a wisdom to your writes which i fear many on here are missing out, there is that fragile humor which appeals immediately but the underlayment of messages is profound and deliberate and the meat of the write. well done!

[Firestone Feinberg]

Thank you so much for your rave review! I am overwhelmed and don't know what to say. Except 'thank you.' Is that nearly enough? --David

Upon Poet-Tree
makes for one, two or three
which groweth by far
thy verse as presented to thee
word smith at open-mic bar
weaving words, there you see!

Very inspirational, I adored your poem very much so and I hope you don't mind my little play with words, your word choices amazing and I so adored your wonderful imaginary, I am so glad that I stumbled onto you Ed, your poetry that is, cause thus far I enjoyed the read very much so xoxo

I like how you compare the budding poet to a tree like the tree of knowledge but in this case the tree of art and creativity like your pieces . You are a wise teacher and we thank you for sharing that with your readers....:)
