In Working On A Poem, I Love

If We’re Going To Solve The Problems Of The World, We Have To Learn How To Talk To One Another. Poetry Is The Language At Its Essence. It’s The Bones And The Skeleton Of The Language. It Teaches You, If Nothing Else, How To Choose Your Words.

I Write Short Stories, And I Wrote A Play.

I Try To Show What It Is About Language And Music That Enthralls, Because I Think Those Are The Two Elements Of Poetry.

By Making Us Stop For A Moment, Poetry Gives Us An Opportunity To Think About Ourselves As Human Beings On This Planet And What We Mean To Each Other.

One Definition Of Eternity Is That We Are Not Alone On This Planet, That There Are Those Who've Gone Before And Those Who Will Come, And That There Is A Community Of Spirits.
