In bygone days butterflies dance,
in the hues of...

In a game of thrones
Markets smile, deep pockets make fat pile,
And when frown, fortunes come tumbling down.
In play of plump coffers
There’s no place for paupers—
Sophomore Dumpty’s tend to crash crown,
They prosper that possess wile and guile.

Holding reflecting mirrors up to our souls,
Showing what we might not otherwise see

Poetry instructs, refreshes, and amuses,
Often fascinates; sometimes confuses.
Poetry blends the colors of our experiences
Breaks...

Poeming in the PlazaPoets write poetry; I order pizza
Watch Jeopardy every evening
Close my emails with "Sincerely"
Instead of my own fancy phrase
