Love the "two blackbirds"... the whales are absolutely magnificant... as well as the bears traveling down the road.
A girl asked you: What is poetry?
You wanted to say to her: You are too, ah yes, you are
and that in fear and wonder,
which prove the miracle,
I'm jealous of your beauty's ripeness,
and because I can't kiss you nor sleep with you,
and because I have nothing and whoever has nothing to give
must sing...
But you didn't say it, you were silent
and she didn't hear the song.
Thank you for adding me as a friend. I really do appreciate it very much indeed. I hope to explore the possibility of sharing our thoughts and sense of poetry so as to make a difference in our generation today. Thanks once again and I do appreciate it very much indeed.
Keep the hope, faith and love alive.
God's Blessings.
Thanks for the friend invitation!
