Poems, My Mirrors

"Poetry is a life-cherishing force. For poems are not words, after all, but fires for the cold, ropes let down to the lost, something as necessary as bread in the pockets of the hungry." — Mary Oliver double acrostic Poetry shakes me, wakes me up. Other poets open my mind to Endless layers of reality and enable Me to thrive in this special realm. Sharing through poetry helps Me know myself and others better. When I’m Yearning to describe honestly my Mindsets, whether stormy or calm, I find that reading poetry provides stimuli, Readies me for each expressive endeavor, Reminding me that poetry is like a mirror, Offering the reflection of one who Realizes words possess inestimable power Such potential for enhancing our lives!
