“Poetry isn’t an island, it is the bridge.
Poetry isn’t a ship, it is the lifeboat.
Poetry isn’t swimming. Poetry is water.”
~ Kamand Kojouri

Bowlful of Strawberrylicious
“Poetry and music are very good friends.
Like mommies and daddies and
strawberries and cream…
they go together.”
~ Nikki Giovanni
Dancing Streetlamps
“The world is full of poetry.
The air is living with its spirit;
and the waves dance to the music
of its melodies, and sparkle
in its brightness.”
~ James Gates Percival
Behold the Lovely Clematis
“The common hill-flowers wither, but they blossom again. The laburnum will be as yellow next June as it is now. In a month there will be purple stars on the clematis, and year after year the green night of its leaves will hold its purple stars. But we never get back our youth.”~ Oscar Wilde, “The Picture of Dorian Gray”.
Tulips Speak of “Fire and Ice”
“Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.” ~ Robert Frost
