Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Poetry

I can’t say that 
poets have a lock 
on love – surely
every heart an
expression of its
owner – written off
the page as well, 
in voice
and deeds. 

Yet, poetry
of all the crafts
must be loved
into being – 

no deep 
word 
rising to 
memorable
surface
without
a stain 
of tear
and blood –

Panagiota Romios September 11, 2020 at 9:31 AM Love your phrase' " without a stain of tear or blood." Finely penned. Panagiota xx Joseph P. DiMino September 11, 2020 at 3:30 PM Thank you, Pangie; keep up the good fight. The world needs strong voices like yours. I think Trump goes down in history as one of our greatest Presidents. He certainly has embraced the true spirit of the office -- A New Jerusalem!
