April is National Poetry Month. Poems are born from the imagination and inspiration of poets.

 

Through their words, poets guide you on journeys that challenge your mind and touch your heart. Dare to follow these . . .

 

 

Dream Chasers

 

Blending past, present, and future, poets chase a sometimes elusive dream.

Mixing fantasy with reality, fact with fiction, worlds collide, so it may seem.

 

Getting to know others may come from this portrayal—the poet’s point of view.

These word masters often express thoughts, which lead to finding the real you.

 

Seeing is believing—the poet creates images with words, written and spoken.

Dreams come alive. Through these animated pictures, sleeping eyes are awoken.

 

It’s a crime many don’t comprehend and often reject the poet’s word.

In some circles, poetry is ignored or thought to be utterly absurd.

 

Three wishes, at times entwined as one, to learn, grow, and be, flow from the poet’s page.

Opening one’s mind allows access to the tools and wisdom of the poetic sage.

 

A valuable lesson learned may come from heeding the poet’s discourse.

Avoiding these words and visions shaped may prove to be society’s loss.

 

Blending past, present, and future, poets pave the road for achieving life’s dreams.

Dream chasers, all, enticing believers to bask in the sun’s light, reach for the 

    stars, and follow moonbeams.
