    Poem Commentary

       A piece that came by graces accord.

    Angel Dance

     A thousand angels dance and sing
    upon an inky quilled feather's tip
    Which ignites with inspiration.
    The poet feverishely attemps to render
    The voices that harken onto him.

    The layers of his mortal autonomy
    Are cast off like many useless garmets.
    Verse pours forth as if a foutain
    Has burst open from a sacred main.

    He is washed in the cleansing waters,
    Where the word flows from its true source,
    Obtained from a place absent of utterance.
    A baptism of enbolding ideas engulf him.

    He writes with a new noble sense,
    One of certainty, now united
    To this creative wellspring.
    The circuit contact stays eternaly open.
    All he must do, is again, and again, lose himself
    In exhultation, to recieve this boundless endowment.

    Flattery will get you everywhere. But seriously this is a great compliment from a talented poet, so thank you.

    Thank you for your kind words of praise

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
