Expression

7/11/2016

“A poem begins with a lump in the throat;

a homesickness or a love sickness. It is a reaching-out

toward expression; an effort to find fulfillment. A complete

poem is one where an emotion has found its thought

and the thought has found words.”

– Robert Frost

    True. And every man has at least one poem that is written or unwritten , like one love that makes every human immortal.
