Written Language iii
A third collection
This is third time the handwriting if a number of poets.
In search of a universal language (love); next time the voice, the gesture, the symbols.
Become a poet. Take up your pen and write about life, put your thoughts and feeling into words – communicate!
There is still so much to be said; say it!
Say it as a poet, with words that move and set in motion…
