POETRY CORNER
– 1/18/17
Hosted by Kathabela Wilson
In troubled times, we gather our inner forces and create our own world. Poets have always led the way in planting seeds for positive thought, transformation and growth of wildflower seedlings in thought and action. These sensitive poets take a powerful look at the way to accomplish this, with natural grace and vision, as well as a stretch of the imagination to reach the ‘unreachable’ heights with ease.
