Posted under the discussion topic commitment in "~ The Poet's Place Cafe~" . "Commitment is an attribute of the soul, which make a certain amount of commitment innate to every human being. Since it is a spiritual attribute it also needs practice to develop deeper forms of commitment. As a person goes through life the individual encounters tests that forces the person to chose between commitments and set priorities."

A Poet Is1

A poet is a woman
who sits in tears
as she tears
life's pages from time's coloring book.

A poet is a man
who kneels to pray
for strength to pursue his prey
of words across the mind's ripply brook.
