Thank you, Poets, friends, for reading my words, and for your encouragement and prayers.
...and when I sow the seeds of my words in the fertile fields of poetry, I water them with tears, knowing it is my soul planted there.
...and when they bloom, I hope you'll notice them and won't pass them by: pick one and tell me how it smells and how it looks and if it's worth reading.
...and if you'll take it home, there'll be a reason to celebrate - I will be forever in your debt, because you took part of me with you.

Reviews of "Picking Flowers in the Garden of Words"
this is oh so true...the words we read do imprint us, no matter how we feel about other things. politics, religion, none of it matters. nothing except the words, as expressions of the poet's soul, and true intentions. a heartfelt and prescient write, poet.
Anyone who doesn't read or review you must have rocks in their brains; you are as good as anyone here, and I am always going to read and review you!! Just remember that!!
Beautiful and uplifting write; keep that pen a movin' and that muse a goin'!! BRAVA!!

Beautifully said and superb theme that goes to the heart of all poets. Thanks for sharing and giving us the lovely flowers of your words to take home with us. I have quite a garden of them already;-)
Butterflys hover on flowers sucking in the nectar for as long as the nectar flows. Sometimes they stay for hours. Poets hover on words injecting nectar into each blossoming line until they get the sweet satisfaction and blooming results they planted. Sometimes they stay around for years. Hope you stay around Karla. You write a beautiful bouquet of words that compliments the butterfly, posy of wildflowers and baby's breath.
Beautiful words from a beautiful mind and spirit!
What a wonderful creation for me to read after coming inside on this gorgeous Georgia day, carrying a box of my very own new book,
Windmills Beyond La Mancha. You and I may now exalt the written word in our own way! Happiness to you, Kind Soul... - Bill
