A Tribute to Mother EarthPoemsVerses-like strings-carry the wingsof sounds and sentimentsenamored of stanzasenthralled to give voiceto the dual languagesof the mind and the soul.Blessed be the language of poetry! The genre has enabled me to expound my views on current political and environmental matters; expose the woes and wounds of a planet pleading for mercy; honor the beauty and dignity of man and beast; revere the natural world and capture the nurturing light of love and friendship.Words are freedom-loving birds. May my colorful flock take you to sacred and revealing destinations. May you enjoy the journey!
