Years after the writing of this offering it was discovered by neurological researchers that reading or listening to rhyming poetry indeed intrinsically stimulates the human moral sense.

Chords of the Heart

There’s a chord within the heart
Which resonates to song,
There’s this about good poesy:
Elevates right, abases wrong

It is of architecture
In perpetual embrace
We conduct the business
Of all the human race

With ten minutes’s recital of
A tender poignant dance,
We’re ready to give life and love
Respect and grace another chance

We gaze into, as teaching mirror,
Self reflected, as it were,
Upon a higher order,
O, the theater!

In every way, we know to look
Unto the world of Art
To give ourselves renewal —
To commence a fairer start

Homeless until removal of the stalker/targeter/vandal/arsonist following her allows her to approach any landlord ~ even for a private parking space ~ this poet presently lives under perpetual threat of towing with all possessions should her 23-year-old van stop running for any reason.

She is badly in need of a modest reserve with which to field any emergency which might occur.

Donors may visit http://www.UgiftABLE.com , using code #72D-31S. It does take several days for the poet to be notified of your patronage.

Thank you for supporting quality in the fine arts.
