What is a poet?

Pictures can inspire us to look within our hearts to God's devine plan for us.

This is my Bird of God sculpture, 12" x 6"

I like to talk about my art in a

poem! I like to begin by exploring the phrase, I am...

I am a poet...but then I think "What is a poet?"

Whateveritis, I think,

it must have food for the soul,

It must have generous folds of thoughts,

and Love,

Whateveritis, I think,

it must be arrogant,

to coach the sun to rise,

to kiss the day good-bye,

and hope,

Whateveritis, I think,

Its ecstasy remains intact,

With the Birds of God

for companions.

from Sculpting the Heart.
