! The Poems I Love

There are poems that I envy, poems that I admire and respect, poems that simply sing to me, poems that I puzzle over… but the poems I most love - they may be jewelled and adorned with adjectives and adverbs, similes and metaphors, (but they must be enlightening, relevant, making mind and heart to expand in sheer exhilaration) or they may be so quietly, humbly carpentered that they say, I’m simply here to serve you… but they all say to me with shining eyes, as if the world made new in that moment, ‘Yes, I was there! Join me there! ’ and their ‘there’ is here and now and as great as the universe and the heart that yearns.
