the best poets will
conjure apt words that describe
the clouds to the blind
the best poets will
conjure apt words that describe
the clouds to the blind
Writer Lynne Sargent
Poetry Puttering by Pax & Company
Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte
"drink from the well of your self and begin again" ~charles bukowski
no dust here
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
flights of fancy from New Zealand
You're never alone, if you've something to share
All you touch and all you see / is all your life will ever be

the rest, their heads in the clouds

The Poetic Art defined / Alchemists of word defined. Simple, short and utterly compelling as all great Haiku are. Thank you Paul.

Lovely. It brings back a memory. I was very young, and I was listening to someone describe the beauty of a Christmas tree to a blind man. I kept wondering what he was thinking.

A profound nutshell. As a poetic being who doesn’t take photos and hasn’t mastered the art of including pictures from the web with what I write, I have only words.
