Lighter


He’s better called a Lighter
Than just named a writer.
Torches that writers hold
Help to thaw mental  cold
Those who, shadows fear
Are safe by what writers bear-

What kills creative prowess
Is inherent fear to express!!

This is acutely mentally stimulating. That's one thing about you, JM: you never disappoint in the stimulating dept. You always give the reader something over which to mull. Thanks for exercising my mind this morning with your thought-provoking poems :)
