Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Creating

I am not such a detail person
in a surface sense -- 
if it works better than it has
worked before, better than
anyone has made it work 
before – then I am satisfied.
For the moment.  Polish,
burr free…does that matter
to the person that thirsts, the
person in need of shelter and a
comforting touch?  Poetry, art,
they’re also tools prolific as
hammers and saws – likewise
build structures for ascent and
decent – let our steps be pure
as humanly possible – God
knows our hearts already.  Cares
less about the color of our souls
and only that they have yet not been
sold.

Andrea Dietrich April 22, 2026 at 12:01 PM You said a lot here. On the polish thing, that was funny. Burr free! You really resonated with me on the closing lines. That we do not sell our souls. Yes, God know us very well . I love that you love God Joseph P. DiMino April 22, 2026 at 1:13 PM And you do also -- such a joy to be in like company. Strength in numbers. Thank you, Andrea. Blessings.
