Apologies, folks <br />for slipping this one in <br />under the guise of a poem <br />but isn't it great <br />to open this site's window <br />and find 20 poems <br />by 20 poets <br />several for the first time <br />making a fantastically rich hour or two <br />just reading them <br />such as never could have happened <br />a few years ago <br />(three cheers for webmaster) <br /> <br />I know that some of us <br />write umpteen poems a day <br />but could you please <br />space them out, just one or two each day <br />so I can read them without hurrying? <br /> <br />Apologies again, and <br />consider this as really <br />a poem <br />in praise of poetry? <br /> <br />which it is.<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-praise-of-poetry/
