Fame Is A Bee
Fame is a bee
It has a song–
It has a sting —
Ah, too, it has a wing

Beauty In Words
“Poetry is the rhythmical creation of beauty in words.”

Time goes, you say? Ah no!
Alas, Time stays, we go.

Lucifer~ Elizabeth Barrett Browning Poem
Lucifer:
Here’s a brave earth to sin and suffer on….
We’ll sow it thick enough with graves as green
Or greener certes, than its knowledge-tree.
We’ll have the cypress for the tree of life,
More eminent for shadow: for the rest,
We’ll build it dark with towns and pyramids,
And temples, if it please you:—we’ll have feasts
And funerals also, merrymakes and wars,
Till blood and wine shall mix and run along
Right o’er the edges…
~Elizabeth Barrett Browning, “A Drama of Exile”
Poetry Quote ~ Novalis

Jamie Lynn Morris Poem
Like butterflies in Spring
Poetry awakens the Spirit,
stirs the imagination and explores
the possibilities with each stroke of its rhythmic wings.
~Jamie Lynn Morris
