Who is a Poet?

A little girl sees a beautiful butterfly and speaks about it.

Lady Grace has a beautiful face and wings to die for.  Spread your wings, oh you beautiful creature.  Fly away….be free.

A little boy sees natures best in the ground that he is walking on.  He sees a huge frog and he speaks of his desire to catch it.  As he combs the ground for bugs and worms to feed his frog, he speaks of his pleasure that he gets from just being outside.

Wow, he is cool.  I think I will take him home. 

A young woman speaks of her first love. 

Oh, how wonderful is my life?  He is my world, my destiny, my true love.

A young man speaks of nothing but the desire for the spice of life.

I want silver, I want gold.  I want fancy cars, new and old.

A feeble old man remembers his life.  He speaks of nothing else. 

When I was a boy, my life was a joy. 

I was strong and brave.

Oh, how time has slipped away

An old woman looks beyond her years and speaks of what will be.

Do right by yourself and others, or your life will be filled with regret and pain.  Hold your tongue if you have harsh words on your mind.  Go to sleep with a light heart and you will wake up feeling pure splendor.

Who is a poet?

In the middle of the universe lies a huge pond of wisdom. If you are a true poet, you will drink from the pond and nourish your soul.

Take a drink.  Savor every ounce of wisdom that flows through you.  Absorb what you have consumed and share it with anyone who has the desire to learn what you have learned.

You are a poet indeed!!!!!
