Bj Legros Kelley Poet Rhyme

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

Gershon Wolf October 1, 2020 at 2:37 PM 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 Bj Legros Kelley October 1, 2020 at 3:42 PM 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.
