If Poets Unite

Oh, that i alone can but stir the spoon of discontent and create a mere ripple upon this earth, while so many of us likewise with words to merge, can form a tidal expression that ebbs to and fro, perpetually. © Harry J Horsman 2021

I can almost imagine the amazing result, poets with their sensivity, gentlness and creatvity if united, could help this planet and quell much animosity and greed. Many a poet and writer even painters have died poor and their works become famous maybe centuries later, so perhaps we can bring a united front and calm troubled waters whilst still alive. Wonderful poem with such depth. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Yes, when words merge, and rivers of ink flow into the literary ocean, we can together create so much more!

The pen is mightier than the sword. I guess that's why they try to get rid of those who speak out. Good stuff here. God Bless, JB

Unfortunately we are far apart. Poets don't read each other as they should. ~~
