Love is like a butterfly in so many, many ways. It brings a bit of sunshine even on gloomy days. It makes our souls feel lighter just to know it's there And gives our spirits wings, as if floating in the air. It carries us to places that we never knew before And comes in many sizes, shapes and hues galore.
Once we've seen it, we wish to hold onto it so tight But like a frail butterfly, we must allow it free flight, For if we should try to cage it up and hold it in a pen, We'll surely crush its wings, and it'll never fly again. To keep that love glowing in our hearts each day, We must remember always to give some of it away.
Every little bit we give to someone else to share Comes back tenfold, and we've so much to spare. Put your love on gossamer wings, and give it flight; It will return to you, and bring you much delight.
Poetstock 2009!
Never before has this been done, and hopefully it will be successfully repeated after this all over the world, again and again….
Our aim is to bring together poets from all over, who produce all
genres of poetry for a night of mingling, poetry, shameless self
promotion…. Each poet will have the poetry to read their work on
stage, sell their work to those who would like to buy, and mingle with
the best poets of our generation.
It will be held on Saturday, July 11, 2009 at 9 PM at STUDIO PARK; 1519 Carroll Dr
Atlanta, GA 30318-3605
And the owner of STUDIO PARK in Atlanta has been gracious enough to open his doors to us without charging us ANYTHING!!!
Guys, you seriously CAN’T miss this~you HAVE to be there! It is the
chance of the lifetime, and the bigger we make it, the more attention

have what it takes or know someone who does, please email me.
****ALL are welcome! Whether you are a poet, or love poetry, we hope
you will all come, tell your friends about it, and your friends’
friends-blog it, bulletin it, email it, scream about it from the
rooftops~Whatever it takes!!!
"When you carry out acts of kindness, you get a wonderful feeling inside. It is as though something inside your body responds and says, 'Yes, this is how I ought to feel." -Harold Kushner- May your week be blesssed..:-) Hugs~~Cyndi
Life has been very strange since 9- 11, as we all know. Feel as though I've been transported into another country as I no longer recognize this one. But maybe we all needed this l'il butt kick to make us all realize how lucky we were. Getting your site deleted is actually a compliment--means you were making a difference. Keep up the good work...
