I wrote letters to poets
Sandburg, Dickinson, Twain,
Shelley, Petrarca, Yeats or Keats,
it was always the same.
“Thank you for your words.
“I like what you say.
“Your message was heard.”
Each time someone’d said
“You can’t send a note
for those poets are dead;
it’s been years since they wrote!”
.
On the blog roll are poets
who live and who breathe
and I can write them notes
and some encouragement leave.
“I like that you’re writing
“I like that you’re here
“I like that you’re sighting
on truths without fear.
“Thank you for your words.
“I like what you say.
“Your message was heard;
I’ll be back here one day!”
