Notice of absence from arqios
🕊 🙏🏻🕊️

 

Poetry is ...
companionable eloquence
faithful throughout the years,
gone and yet to come.

It's benefits outweigh whatever
real or imagined opinion,
critique or complaint.

Our prattle shan't hinder
the blossoming of flowers
in their rightful season.

By whatever standard and
measurement, Poetry is ...

                  Beautifully expressed arqios. Poetry has certainly been a companion to me in good times and dark. Introduced to it by my paternal grandfather as a youngster, he certainly gave me a valuable gift there. A lifetime gift. A lovely write.
