(dedicated to Mr. Lee Crowell, a great poet at poemhunter) <br /> <br />I was driving back down the valley of creativity <br />I passed a long line of little boys, little girls <br />who were wearing bright colorful gowns <br />dancing around the bluish lake of hope <br /> <br />I was contemplating all joys <br />and demand of being a creature <br />what am I thinking about and feeling? <br />just relax and breathe the youthful spirit <br /> <br />I loved watching <br />how poems brought out <br />another side of those young souls <br />they were often really quiet and shy <br /> <br />I am so proud of you all <br />I have never been around <br />a group of fresh spirits who hear <br />so intensely the voices of the poets <br /> <br />I know you all will open <br />the gate of the future poetry <br />surely invite all sparks and charms <br />and happiness to our beloved hearts<br /><br />Ahmad Shiddiqi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-poet-s-note-five-lago-piva/
