The Poets' Epic, Verses 8/7/14

 Poet your words unlock minds and souls
                 Freeing others to discover
                 They can be poets 

~ Iris Levin

We cosset and cajole; carefully spoon-feed
our infant poem, 'til it takes wing and flies,
Hid here, a small new seed of wisdom lies--
by poet's hand it either lives--or dies.

~ Sharon Anderson

Poetry has a power to retouch a life
with pastel words that reduce strife.
Poetry can change the worst of times
into extraordinary ones using rhymes.

~ Denise Kolanovic 

We poets need to write
It's in our pulse, it keeps us alive
Walking, speaking, breathing metronomes
Keeping time to our lives

~ Michelle Gent

The Island of Poetica awaits your shipwreck
You will survive on a diet of insight and revelation
You will swim in the clear blue waters of your soul
You will leave your sandy footprints for the rising tides
When a white sailed schooner beacons from the horizon
You will wave it off…

~ Russel Hampell
