If the poet doesn’t wish to revise, let the poet abandon poetry and take up stamp-collecting or real estate.” —Donald Hall “Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation’s tears in shoulder blades.” —Boris Pasternak “Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.” —Charles Simic “Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.” —Gustave Flaubert “Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It’s that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that’s what the poet does.” —Allen Ginsberg. ~~~~~ Amy King, Moderator Amy King is the recipient of the 2015 Winner of the WNBA Award (Women’s National Book Association).

Sam thanks so much for the add. What an exciting life you've lived. I'd love to hear the lyrics to the song your wrote for your son. I planned on being a lyricst when I finished college, but marriage and family changed that idea. I've recently gone back to putting my poetry/lyrics back on paper...they dance in my head when I least expect it. I'm currently co-authoring a novel with a friend of 30+ years...and we're still friends...so far! LOL.
Blessings,
Jeannie
