FEELING GOOD, GOOD, GOOD AS A POET OR POETESSAll men ,women and children are born poets,but some are born more poets than some. Those who know that they are poets are endowed to laugh with and at themselves, to sing to themselves, to be angry or pleased with themselves, to hope or despair or grieve within themselves, In turn, they who know that they are poets , are at liberty to laugh at or with the world, to sing to the world,whether the worlld wants to listen or not, to be angry or pleased with the world, sometimes at peril to their lives, to hope, despair or grieve for the world.

I wish I was clever enough to circumlocute your wily question. I, therefore ineptly, ask a counter-question. How many blue bees make five?,,,,,,,,,,,,LOL In the meantime, please do not keep your friends in suspense. I call to mind a friend who once kept his friends in protracted suspense about the answer to a riddle, that when he was finally willing to volunteer the answer, everybody, including himself had forgotten what was the riddle. Worse, the answer had f also fled his memory! |

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
