The Poet Worthy of Praise

poem by: Paul Holmes
Written on Jul 30, 2014 

He or she who can put pen to paper

And write words for all to cherish and savour,

Who can touch the heart and fire the mind

And make us see things as if we were blind;

Who paints word pictures, again and again

With the swiftest strokes of a fountain pen,

Awakening feelings of wonder and awe

That, perhaps haven’t been sensed before;

Who makes heavy hearts feel at ease

As easily as warm winds bend willow trees;

Surely, on that Poet’s words we must feed

For truly they’re worthy of praise indeed.
