[hometext] => - For Rakerman and Jecks: for the poetry, your obvious love for it, and the gift that you unknowingly gave... Thank you! -
[bodytext] => ***** Your book was in the mail that day Ready and waiting to interrupt Maybe it was my own obvious interest That first made her pick it up She asked if it was poetry… (I replied, of course, that it was) She was excited for the discovery (casually confessing a new love) And I knew… that feeling, too She began with The Forrest And learned because of you You taught her ventured and contemplated Then wrath and forbidding too She was drawn in, just then (I smiled a bit too much) She knew, perhaps, that frightened child (she understood well enough) And Passing Thoughts… passed through ***** Later, when she inquired again I introduced her to you I remembered a fable, a little bird And lessons that rang true She asked if I liked poetry… (I said, of course, I do) She smiled a little, looking up at me (Pleased to know I did too) And I wondered… if she knew She asked what “fable” meant And we talked about it some I saw the thoughts begin to turn Felt her imagination run She whispered her wish (I remember hoping too) That she could write a poem herself (She wanted to write like you) And I… was wishing too ***** Between then and now. her love has grown each day And eventually, just tonight, I was brave enough to say… Honey, Mommy…. writes poetry too ***** (Larry and Phil.... I will never be able to thank you enough for the poetry, the support and learning experience (for both my daughter and I). I'll never forget the look on her face tonight. I suspect, that you will understand what an incredible moment it was for me. Thank you both for leading us down the path that brought us to that moment...

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
