Ageless, Timeless...Poetry



 Happy Birthday, Lucy Maud Montgomery
(a kindred spirit)
A highlight on our east-trip this fall 
was visiting the birthplace of one of my all-time favourite authors!





Ageless, the angst of ink and pen
Where poem-painters thirst
Feeling betimes most blessed ‘mongst men
And bitter-sweetly cursed

Timeless, the taunt of airborne font
That tries the heart of thought
And wages wars where word and want
Must meld in metered jot

Ageless, an hour’s arabesque
Luring the poet where
Each flower is a writing desk
And every leaf a chair

Timeless, the love of poetry
And wonder's appetite
Where pray God, there will always be
A poem left to write
