Author's Notes: "Poetry and the Soul" is a very special couplet I developed of recent that touches on the inevitable relationship between the "Poetry" and the "Human Soul." What may, at first, appear to be a flippant rhymed-couplet narrative is much more than it appears to be. I would be less than a professional poet, among colleagues, if I did not point out that this couplet should be read more than once to get an in-depth feel for what I'm really talking about. I shall leave it at that, except to say, that the phrase expression "pig's feet" is much more than a mere rhyming particle. A bit of deeper poetic reflection is a good thing. After all, that's what poetry should encourage -- always!! (Gary Bateman - November 25, 2017)
