Drink of the Flowing Pens

I feel the undercurrent, of the ever-flowing rivers That feed the wells, and springs of pens The depth of words, flowing again Hemingway became a lake Emily a brook Pouring out for our partake Drink deeply now from cups poured then Springs flowing out across time's glens Rhyme and prose in Poets rose, in out-flowing of these givers

I love gardening and often use it for a metaphor in many of my poems... Great to see you so that also...

Now I see that you ARE writing of Hemingway and Dickinson. Please know that Emily Dickinson is absolutely #1 in my book. I can't get enough of her poems. Thank you, Betty Jo! Light and Joy, Gershon

I love them so much! Emily is truly, oh my goodness, words cannot describe my love for that dear poet! That's saying a lot...for a poet...speaking of not having words to describe my uttermost awe of her. Hemingway, oh, my heart. I adore him as well.
