Notes About The Poem

Pride of Poetry

The Pride Of Poetry

Tribute To
Kim Patrice Nunez @ poetrysoup.com

Like sunrise in the morning
or darkness of the night.
Even shadows hearken to her
when she sits down to write.

Oceans all grow restless
there's a stirring up above.
Clouds move so the moon can see
as she writes words of love.

Storms are brewing in the skies
her anger's not forbidden.
Be grateful for the skies of blue
on days her anger's hidden.

Tonight today is almost gone.
She's poetry's long lost lover.
When this day is over
she'll sit and write another.

With mountain tops and butterflies
and valleys filled with springs.
Lovers lost along the way
and sometimes angels wings.

As she looks through eyes of love
 and only she can see.
What each new day's going to bring
the pride of poetry.

Edwin C Hofert

Jorn Please except my sincere apology for misreading and then misprinting your name. I have glasses I seldom wear and this is only one of a series of events that push me to put them back on and leave them there. I am sorry sir and it will not happen again. Sincerely Ed

As poets we all eventually find ourselves in a place where we wonder if we are making a difference. Not necessarily applicable to Kim at this time. But if I had my way. I would obliterate all doubt about a poets worth. We make all the difference in the world. God bless brother!
