A POET IS ........... ?
A TREE watered by experience ~ Fruit is Poetry
A SOWER who sows Seeds of Truth
A ROSE that opens up Words of Beauty
A DOVE spreading Parables of Peace
An ANGEL sharing the Word of GOD
A CLOWN juggling Oodles of Happiness
A LAMP shedding light in Dark Places
A POOR MAN lest He be polluted by Riches
A STAR whose lyrics Point the Way Ahead
A SHEPHERD who leads us by Still Waters
POETS & POETRY are God's gift to Planet Earth !
