I like the words “forest of poetry” imagine if every leaf on a tree represented a poem, what a harvest there would be, the wonderful fruits of the poets……. Congratulations on poem of the day Anil, well done, Belle

Thank you all READERS and reader-commentators: it means a lot this time as in South Africa (evangelist here) we have so many brown outs, black outs, cell-phone issues (we buy airtime to call, and data to do internet ... about the most expensive in the world, I read last year). shalom shalom as I thanked commentators before this DATA ran out. LOL!

'Forest of poetry' and 'Integrity among words' - so speaks to us who humbly aspire to call ourselves poets - must add to my Faves~

Dear Poet Michelle: once we talked about FAITH without "God," especially the Male Boss Type (in not so many words). But U always struck me as the person who never needed RELIGION because you have that FAITH that heals and gives, and creates beauty. Thanks for being so beautiful. Shalom, shalom
