Good poetry is like food to the soul. It"s medicine to the sick. It"s an upper for the downers. It"s the focused to the unfocused. It touches the heart; it hits home. Poetry is a journey to many, many places of the past, present, and even the future. Poetry gives you an opportunity, a decision and choice, whether you want to open up to accept its givings or decline. It"s totally up to you, but poetry is to me love"s affinities. Yours truly, Lisa "B"
