"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." - Percival

Poetry captures in words the unique perspectives of human experience.

Poets share those elusive and intangible subtleties that many find so difficult to describe. They communicate experiences of hope, frustration, joy, love, sorrow, healing, and change, coloring each with a unique personal vision.

Poetry can convey the experience of dreams, the language of angels, and the happy memories of a walk in nature. It brings peace and strength of the spirit to both poet and reader.
