Mission Statement

Poetry can be there for you when your life is falling apart. There are many types of poems, some are erudite others more sentimental. Each of us has within us a hidden land of rational, emotional and mystical needs that can be appeased only by the poetic word, image and metaphor.

If you are willing to read along with me and then memorize a favorite poet’s poem that speaks to you, touches you, heals you in some way:  That is my Mission. Of course I am speaking figuratively and not literally. However, I have seen how Poetry and Art are capable of healing emotionally. That is what I am aiming for with this blog. To create a beckoning doorway to this world.

My goal is to share some of my favorite poets. Hoping you will seek them further and find among them one or more that you will keep as a treasure in your mind for those moments when nothing else can soothe and calm your emotional wounds but the words of a poet.
