The man who has no imagination has no wings - Muhammad Ali

Letting go of Love Just as with everything else We need to be able to love Live and let it go on its way This journey is never ending To love is to know how to release When the time has come The paths no longer overlap It is time to let go of love Time to turn to pastures new Let the feeling flow...

About this Blog

This is where I will be writing and posting my poetry - a lot of which was written between the years of 17 - 19 (I am now 50!!) I have only just found the urge to do something with these poems and have started adding slowly to my collection - I hope you like them (I'm still feeling my way here)
