So someone was asking me today, why I love poetry.
Hard to say, I am usually intrigued by the play of words. I think poetry is like a Zen Koan, when you get it, it hits.
I still read a lot of poetry. I also write some.
I do wish I would write more.
My favorite sage once told me "better look out" else you won't "see" :-) Caveat: Wannabe poet, so a lot of these posts are just poetic license.
I am a potty mouth
