The Five Pillars of Poetry

Imagination is the river that guides the quill. Dreams the sailing ship that unleashes the voyage through the pages of a poets mind. To write is to find the meaning of love. Where beauty opens the gate, to a never ending yellow brick road Of human emotion. For that is what we seek. The pen can create gods and mortal frailty. Sunshine is the span of life, darkness is forever and within these letters we find immortality. Beauty is found in pain hope is an emerald sea, envy comes from Oscar’s words and belief becomes a prejudice.

All belong to confession, trapped in the confetti of poems which hide behind a harlequin mask though a poets heart, is for all to see
