A Congregation of Poets

Let us pierce the loneliness of our craft
  Let us form a Congregation of Poets
A brotherhood of fellow adventurers
  Sounding Boards
   
      ~ Come, let us worship together

Michelle Faulkner Date: 1/15/2019 1:17:00 PM I was once a lonely poet until I found this website, so grateful for all the support here (though I feel just a teeny tiny bit left out by the word 'brotherhood'!) Login to Reply Michelle Faulkner Date: 1/18/2019 11:49:00 PM How about 'humanhood'? Gershon Wolf Date: 1/15/2019 4:42:00 PM Had I an equivalent or better alternative to 'brotherhood' there, I would have used it... I had already used congregation, which would have worked...Brotherhood, moreover, because of its historic connotations, is more inclusive than 'sisterhood' or 'sorority, ... To sum up, I hear your plea ... It's real ... And I'm open to substituting another equivalent or better word...:) gw

Caren Krutsinger Date: 1/14/2019 10:02:00 PM I thought we were already doing it. Hmmmmm I may have to re-read this, when I read I sometimes do not comprehend.....duh...duh...duh.... I am already doing this, Gershon, and you are too, but it is a lovely poem. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 1/14/2019 10:04:00 PM Precisely so --- on both counts, I hope! Thanks for the feedback, Caryn. Much appreciated. :) gw
