Poetry, Its Your Turn.

Poetry deserves its moment of praise.

The same praise as eyes locking in a crowded room. That instant when the noise fades, the world tilts, and for a breath, nothing exists. 

Poetry is that glance, a distilled truth, a word-shaped spark that leaps between hearts. 

It lingers without asking permission. In a world rushing to the next distraction or instant gratification, poetry is the pause that reminds us what it means to be fully present. 

And what it means to treasure what could be lost.

For brief moments that feel like an eternity, poetry has the power to stop time, to allow the spirit to dance with the present, be nervous for the future, and sulk the past. Poetry is a time traveller’s best friend, and a carpe diem-er's greatest gadget.

So "Off into the great unknown" dearest reader.

Pack your book, sharpen your tool, and share your story. The time to write... is now. The time to explore is now. The purpose to pursue and express your truth are longed for by members of the human race. Families, friends, lovers, cats. The world is missing a poets poem. The artists tongue. So, don't be stingy with your words.

Becasue one day you may have to share them.
