In Honor of Poets

I love it when I can't write a thing! Then I can swim in other poets' rivers and their blessed meanderings. If I have nothing to say, then it's  perfectly OK to be still.. Listening to the songs of poetic whiporwills. 5/15/2019 1:30pm PST

I know when I relax and read other people's poems the new ones crop up in little corners of my mind, making me smile and sometimes laugh. Great advice!

I really wasn't giving advice,,))) was just sharing a feeling. It's so refreshing to hear other voices than my own. I feel like I am standing under a waterfall of great beauty and colors. Panagiota

I certainly accept that this is as a FAVE from you, thank you. I had thought about posting it, but upon re-reading now, it is quite good. Blessings, Panagiota
