The God's Bookshelf

The poets are the quills of God. The quills
write down the masterpieces that cause chills
along the spine, goosebumps, tears of the pleasure
in godly rhymes that feed into the treasure
of poetry. The quills write down as well
the platitudes, the clichés that, to tell
the truth, are different on spelling only.
The countless graphomaniacs and the lonely
true poets who, I hope, include myself -
you’ll find your places on the God’s bookshelf.

Wow! I am feeling my oats after reading this one. To think that I perhaps, just maybe, qualify as a 'Quill of God.' Very interesting ink, Kurt! Happy Thursday! ~ Gershon
