Born a happy poet..Still am!
I firmly believe in the Latin saying 'Omnia bona bonis' (all things are good to the good) , and 'Omnia vincit amor' (love conquers all things) .
Poets are sensitive souls, and any opportunity to oppugn amongst themselves is fraught with emotional turmoil. In fact, many attempt to escape the daily humdrum of their jobs by expressing their angst (or joy as the case may be) through the lines of their poetry.
To me, (and I suspect with many of you as well) writing poems is more than an orra job. In fact, its a way and a medium where you would want the world to 'see' you...
Such is poetry - indefinable in many ways - and yet unifying people from different faiths, varying temperaments and cultures.
Arta longa vita brevis...
Cheers.
Rains can be risky
What with this pouring passion
Can turn one frisky!

Who decides o’er life and death?
And who will tend to our woes?

Death is curt, death is cold,
Death is new, death is old.
Death is no summer, death is no fall;
It is for one, it is for all.
