The Poet Worthy of Praise

by Paul H   Oct 2, 2021


He or she who can put pen to paper

And write words for all to cherish and savour,

Who can touch the heart and fire the mind

And make us see things as if we were blind;

Who paints word pictures, again and again

With the swiftest strokes of a fountain pen,

Awakening feelings of wonder and awe

That, perhaps haven’t been sensed before;

Who makes heavy hearts feel at ease

As easily as warm winds bend willow trees;

Surely, on that Poet’s words we must feed

For truly they’re worthy of praise indeed.

    ^ My favorite line! There's something healing about reading these calming words, and also feeling solace in the poetry we discover.

    What a fantastic ode to poets, near and far. Words can provide us with so much, especially with there is a depth, a well of emotions, that can be transferred and understood by the reader.
