Veritas

Have you ever read words so true
they tap a wellspring of tears
which fall upon this soil
broken and beckoning
Wildflower seeds on the wind
thirst no more
come the promise of tender birth
Such is poetry to the conscious

the Roman term for your title, very good! I'm thinking; prelude to Spring, [with the wildflower seed scattered on the wind and the promise of tender birth]. To me, all this promises Spring and poetry as a thing renewed. I see more and more new poets expressing themselves here and everywhere. Nice work! ~ Geez.

This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

What a great collection of writers we have! I learn something everyday and I feel very supported and validated.

Hello, Tim,
"...which fall upon this soul, broken and beckoning..." It is healing just to read those words. So lovely, and poetic.

Great lines... dropped by a literary connoisseur!

So many times I have read something and it has evoked a strong emotion. This is indeed a special place and we have so many talented writers here that I have learned so much from. Another job well done.
