a poet's path by john k zimmerman Monday, April 10, 2006 Rated "G" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan Poet, Prophet, Preacher the job s the same -- somfort the comfortless and kick the comfortable ones in tne *ss
the poet sees thunder behind clear blue sky he sees a devil in a guardian angel the evil in his own heart. he's a downer, a crape hanger, a wet blanket, a party pooper; maudlin when he�s drunk. until push comes to shove and the sky begins to fall then the poet sees the sun beyond the storm the hope that triumphs over disaster, and the power of the open human heart.

John, The poet sees beauty where there is ugliness, and writes about ugliness in the midst of beauty. Duplicity, yet necessary for the Poet's sanity and survival. An excellent, excellent write--enjoyed. (((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
