Poetry

"My role in society, or any artist or poet’s role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all."  - John Lennon

"The courage of the poet is to keep ajar the door that leads into madness." - Christopher Morley

"Poetry is an act of peace." - Pablo Neruda

I had so many quotes to choose from about poetry ... I've been collecting quotes for decades, and I have files and files of them for various purposes, so choosing for this page was difficult, which is why there are three here instead of one like the other pages! All of the poetry following is mine, written by me, and original to me. Some of it I have published on my personal Facebook for my friends to read, but this is the first time I am making it available to a wider audience. Copyright 2026, officially!
