The Power of Poetry

Pictures can say a thousand words.
Or not.
Like the one above.
It's just red dirt and one softball.

Or is it?

It's just one picture, but when you gaze upon the image, your mind is led around into endless possible tales of whim and adventure. Or not. Oftentimes, your eyes will rest on one spot of the image and you feel drawn in to the hypnotic lull of it's simplicity or beauty. You let it wash over you, like a warm rain. It's so refreshing.....and healing. Like a wonderful 'all you can eat' buffet for your eyes!

Poetry has the same power for me.
Each word is specifically chosen to elicit a cascading waterfall of emotions that drip over my brain and seep into my soul. Again, it is refreshing.....and healing.

So, it is with squeals of glee and delight that I signed up for the DAILY LIT book of "Masters of Verse: Thirty Poems from Late, Great Poets". I totally love the website and you can sign up (http://www.dailylit.com/books/masters-of-verse) to have them sent directly to your email! How awesome is that!

Poetry is art for your ears.
Go feed your ears!
