So long the road we travel, from birth we learn to scramble up societies stairs until the day success smiles down or at least we pray, just to fit in and learn to get by, a relentless crawl until we die, through school then work if our luck persists, a few possessions to help resist the on-going boredom of day upon day, to work to pay to work to pay and then our week starts over again.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
