World Thinking Day

4: 12 p.m. Today is World Thinking Day, yet we poets must say that is every day for us, as we continue to write poetry and share it with the world. At times we admonish humanity, speak of it's cruelty, unkindness and intolerance, other moments are thought and filled with our love or the loss of it. Tears of joy and happiness fall into and mix with oceans of tears that have filled us with sorrow, tracing our feelings into the poems we write. Our words flow like lava into our poems, red hot thoughts just now out of the ovens of our hearts and minds, melting into lines on paper. It's nice to have a day set aside for thinking, but it's we poets who continue this endeavor from day to day, writ- ing throughout our lives, reflecting our world in words we write, daily.4: 13 p.m. 2/22/16 RoseAnn V.
