I Have Drank Deep Woes of Tiresome Heartbreak

I Have Drank Deep Woes Of Tiresome Heartbreak I have drank deep woes of tiresome heartbreak supped dark wormwood of Fate's poison trees attempted to love just for loving's sake drown myself in sorrow's of empty seas. Blessed golden day poetry found me. For its sweet gifts have truly set me free. I climbed mountains that rose forever walked deserts and laughed at dying thirst but in my Life I have sworn to never beg for winter's harsh cold nor be the first! Blessed golden day poetry found me. For its sweet gifts have truly set me free. I have through paradise a time once trod sat on its rainbow singing out of key swore to truly love before man and God angel that broke my chains to set me free Blessed golden day poetry found me. For its sweet gifts have truly set me free. I have lived within shadows that mourn roped a bronc and stole many a girl been between life and death wickedly torn in battles victory's flags unfurled. Blessed golden day poetry found me. For its sweet gifts have truly set me free. Robert J. Lindley, 12-14-2019 Rhyme, ( Giving Thanks For Poetry's Many Fine Blessings)

Literature is the simplest of the arts in the sense of tools and the most complex in the sense of perception. And poetry is the pinnacle of literature, indeed. Great rhymes and rhythms.

In my opinion, it's obvious. Like all writers, poets compose by means of nothing. They are akin to magicians: that's the way the ancient poets called a rain)
