We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for." ~ Professor Keating (Robin Williams) in "Dead Poet's Society"

An Old Poets Song
An Old Poet’s Song
I sit and I wait Like a sentry on my perch, Watchful and alone, A stargazing observer, A poet in the desert
