Notes About The Poem

To be read with a Carnival Barkers tone and temper...and loudly...SELL IT

SALES PITCH

Ladies and Gentlemen
Step right up….
Gather round
FOR WHAT….YOU SAY

For the greatest of all gifts
The opening of a heart
An invitation to escape
The drudgery of doing

GATHER NOW
Oh wearied warriors 
Surrender
To the whispered words
Of victories won
Hearts lost
And beauty
Whispered.

CLOSE YOUR EYES
And witness
Welcome the whimsy
Of a wily wind
Whistling its tales
Sharing its tears
Drawing you into its
Comedic insanity

LISTEN
To the heart
See through closed eyes
Exhale the taste of loneliness
Listen with your soul

Become one with the warrior poets
Gathered and share the wonder of life’s POETRY

Is it the heart that opens the poetry, or the poetry that opens the heart? ~ Kahn N. Drom

the bread can be buttered from either side as long as the butter is soft
