POEM

THE POET

He sang of life, serenely sweet,

With, now and then, a deeper note.

From some high peak, nigh yet remote,

He voiced the world's absorbing beat.

He sang of love when earth was young,

And Love, itself, was in its lays.

A jingle in a broken tongue.

~Paul Laurence Dunbar

WORDS OF WISDOM

I carry a notebook with me everywhere. But that's only the first step.

~Rita Dove
