It's August 21, 2014
Today is Poet's Day
Poet's express! Resound!
And Voice!

I AM A PEOPLE

O' hark the call to hear

that

I am a people.

I drive on the life way with
different roads,
paths,
and juggle with
tracking in rooted jungles.

I am a people.

I cultivate a ground of
dirt and soil
and in the wintry garments
I wrap my cold shoulders.

In earth I share words
with other people
who have shovels and
garden instruments for
their tilling
have
cause or effect.

I am a people.

From toe
to foot
to leg
and ankle
to thigh
and midriff
and arms
and from neck
to face.
I am a poet.

Sorry about the shameless plug by the way. You do have a special skill in your poetry. I sensed something rarely heard among artists which is that freshness from deep within. This is that part we all artists strive for. You got that...just love it. :-)

Congrats on your first novel. I absolutely am in tune to wish you much success with your new book! That's great.

I'm working on a 4th book, only this one exactly isn't all poetry; but a meditation devotional.
You're a pleasure to have on this site.
I thanked God you are here.
Amen.

Wow, I need to catch up to you... ;-) I am planning to transfer all of might writings from my two blogs which is mostly sermons but also commentaries into book form. There is a very long poem I did that is about oh gosh very long. I have also done a complete verse by verse commentary on the books of Zechariah, Joel, much of Revelation, Daniel, Ezekiel, Isaiah, Genesis. This year I am trying to get it all into book forms now. Also that novel is a beginning to a series of books about "The Drawing." The two blogs to see some of my stuff in non edited format is at these links:

I used to have my stuff edited pretty good but when I transferred it from xanga when it self imploded it changed the formatting on a lot of my stuff which I never quite caught up with the editing...

Anyway bye!

You can do it Robert! Sounds like to me you have made plans in faith you haven't given up and thrown in the towel!

We'll comment to each other soon! [Smiles]
