Those who have a way with words
To send their message home,
Cannot do better than express
Emotions in a poem.
A poet speaks with angel's tongue
And draws from hidden wells.
Understanding's silver
For the merchandise he sells.
So blessed be the poet's world.
Let metaphors abound,
Amd similes, like flowers,
Garnish virgin ground.
(c) 1989
