A Tribute to Mother Earth Poems Verses -like strings- carry the wings of sounds and sentiments enamored of stanzas enthralled to give voice to the dual languages of the mind and the soul. Blessed be the language of poetry! The genre has enabled me to expound my views on current political and environmental matters; expose the woes and wounds of a planet pleading for mercy; honor the beauty and dignity of man and beast; revere the natural world and capture the nurturing light of love and friendship. Words are freedom-loving birds. May my colorful flock take you to sacred and revealing destinations. May you enjoy the journey!
