You Have It All, Love Poem by Sandra Feldman

Yes, yes, poetry is the soul's language! Hopefully we can all agree with that, and we will never debase this gift of poetry if we do. This poem is what some have called a List Poem, of which Walt Whitman wrote many, giving the form his goal of inclusiveness. You have five words for poetry's attributes which seem well-considered to me. the central word is SENTIMENTALITY (a vexed word, but in this context I believe it refers to the range of sentiments) . It is framed by phrases that characterize your poems as well as other people's poems, namely, WISE WORDS, LOVE'S NOTES - those two phrases identify both the sound of poetry with its verbal music but also its subjects in wisdom and love. And the last word HUMANITY fulfills your dedication to all poets. This is a short poem with a long reach!

I do agree with you... Yes, poetry has it all! All ingredients of poetry and all that poetry does are condensed in this short poem! Thanks for this sweet dedication!

And you do the best job of capturing all those beautiful wonderful things Sandra. It's the most excellent way one can express love to all but most important a true love in ones life. Wonderful piece Sandra.

so beautiful..Poetry, just has it all, It's the language of our Soul. thank you Sandra
