A Poets Paradise

A ride on a road that spills in darkness... Leaves a journey through places not painted in sadness... The view from the window reflects eyes not clear... A mirrored look of my own outlined in red with just one tear... The signs blend into one with a message to follow... To a land of poets who write in a sea that is never shallow... The pens flow across the paper and hearts are now heard... All the forms scream with feeling but you seldom here a word...

I think that your poem is brilliantly done, and every word,line, and meaning is true.

Dear Michael, your words will soon be heard by all! I'm so happy for you. If we have the same publisher (one I recommended to Cory), let me know and I have some suggestions. A beautiful poem above, my friend, but your poems are not drifting out to sea, they're going to print! Hallelujah! Love, Carolyn
