A Poem in the Heart.

the joy and beauty of poetry!

A poem in the heart is worth
more than a million dollars
in the bank account

a single poem, alone...
can turn tides, burst with
chocolates and stars,
and refute...
the laws of gravity,

a poem in the heart ...
the equivalent of the purest
honeys, and finest cashmere,
the steeliest armor,
and the most tender kiss...

one entire year’s
celebrations and festivities,

a single poem,
worth a hundred ....
cozy winter nights,
kind words,
and healed wounds,

a single poem...
the highest peak
of Mount Life,

a single poem....
the thing that can keep me...
light on my feet,
when my soul is
heavy with sorrow.

I adore this write, especially fond of poetry about poetry, first and last stanza's are my favorite... going write into my favorites Sanober!

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Sanober... Reading your poetry
is like wine with the hint of autumn woods
and flying with geese ... walking on a beach...
You lift me up above the ocean waves.. and
into restful quiet caves.
Your poetry is timeless. truly... Pat

Yes, absolutely! When a poem blossoms beneath our fingertips we know the world is spinning in the perfect orbit and life is good. When we have the inspiration, we can climb mountains, fall in love, and travel to the ends of the earth....because we are poets and creating the imagery is our ambrosia in life. The emotions in this poem are expressed with velvety imagery....absolutely exquisite! As always, Sanober, your poetry moves me. Lydi***
