In Poetry, we do not simply read artistic lines.. rhyming couplets.. impressive stanzas.. gripping quatrains.. We do rather feel the very throbs of kindness, tolerance, love and care.. The incarnation of Humanity and "Compassion"! Fellow poets and friends sincerely honouring eachother.. Congratulations on your POTD Arthur.. a well deserved acknowledgement.. My deepest regards and gratitude.. stay blessed always.
