In the Eye of the Beholder

If it jump starts me
If it shoots deep in my soul
That is great music

Or if it cries out
Or laughs and pierces my soul
That is a poem

It's interesting how both music and poetry can prompt such strong emotions, Tim. I really like the definition of poetry you offer here -- very true. Great work! Much love, Carolyn
