To Die Without Poetry…


 


To live without poetry,


Is to live without air…


 


To live without poetry,


My world would not be fair…


 


To be without poetry,


Is like a bird without wings,


Or the ability to fly,


No I do not herein lie…


 


To live without poetry,


Is to die a torturous death…


 


To die without poetry,


Would be not to have lived…

Damn! If that clock's right, I'm late! Sigh....... Since Eddie K 2nd-ed Sue, I will jump in and 3rd her... damn the phone co.! Harrumph!
You are as loyal and true as you are welcome when roaming the den, reading and commenting... you have nothing to apologize for, dear heart.

If poetry be the 'food of life'... CHOW DOWN! I'm with you 100% on this one.

Hey... any update on the vanishing renee? Has there been contact? Inquiring (nosy?) minds want to know. (grin) katy xox.

Future: The Spiritual Story of Humanity by Glenn Martin

Histories of the world are generally written to either celebrate technology and science, or to herald doom. My book examines the path of the spirit in the onward rush.

Transcendental Sojourn-Arrival to One Journal by Liz Cosline

Explains the realizations that have given the author the views of living life fully. The life each person dreams about. You must take a look at yourself before dreams can be reached. Deciding what is the core of belief.
