Poetry is the lyrical rendition of the rhythm of sight, sound, touch, taste; of living, seen through the eyes of a poet and consigned to paper and laptop and keyboard until it can be read aloud. Yes, all poetry needs to be read aloud, to savor the rhythm in the words, and revive the images the poet conscribed to the pages of a book or computer. And reading aloud, one hears the song in the wind, the trees, the stars, the heart and spirit of the singer and adds his/her solo to the chorus.

         I am honored to be your guest host for this edition of the WDC Poetry Newsletter. I would like to take this opportunity to share my exploration of stories in verse ~ lyric, rhythmic, images and tales of events real, imagined or perceived.
