Poetry is a form of art in which language is used for its aesthetic and evocative qualities in addition to, or in lieu of, its ostensible meaning. Poetry may be written independently, as discrete poems, or may occur in conjunction with other arts, as in poetic drama, hymns or lyrics. more at Wikipedia

Wrote some poems and went to Borders book store where I read them at open mic night. Some man gave me a card and said he had been published and my poems were publishable and would touch hearts. Have not done it yet. My husband was the one to say go do it. Now I feel less secure without his support. Am working on them again.
