Waves, Seagulls, and Other Heart Sounds

Poetry is the beginning of all feeling. It celebrates you, cries for you, needs, pleads, bleeds, and wants for you. Poetry explains for you, loves for you, and it wishes and hopes for you. It can move mountains or lock doors. Poetry is fascination, liberation, annihilation, consolation, elation, aggravation, jubilation, communication, and humiliation. It can be the dance that never ends. It feels for you out loud. Poetry is you exclamation point! Poetry can be the beginning or the ending, and everything in between. Cynthia Forcey
