If Poetic Pen Can Reach And Thus Give Words take on greater new powers when cast with results, fine poetic gems that last through hot melding furnaces of truer hearts presenting blessings kindness oft imparts. Seeking with eager heart, truth to be found in poetic gold mines nuggets abound time yields its slow decay to Art's essence majesty joins its beautiful presence. Poets, hold true to solid foundations thus set letting inner spirit dance, strive to get pen to verse in harmony and truth's awe seeking to rise above mankind's great fall. If poetic pen can reach and thus give such, all the better for mankind to live. Robert J. Lindley, April 12th , 2001 Sonnet, ( One hundred poetic words in verse )

Hello Robert, once the poetic pen hits the empty page, I ponder what it will create. Sometimes our muse does not compoxe the words , sometimes it is the mighty pen instead. have a nice day my friend

Thank you my friend. My poetry comes from this old heart and its look at this huge and oft mysterious (dark)world, past, present and future.
