Tales from the Disenchanted and Wisdom from the Haiku - Diana Leavengood Blanco - Bog

My poems are oftentimes born from some great sadness.They usually speak of things that have been lost.They try to catch the soul and trap the memory -To tell the story...true...and-what-the cost.I rhyme because it helps me to remember.I rhyme so I must measure every word.I rhyme to help those lost things live forever.In rhyming, lilting, steeped-in-meaning verse.Words can prevail past flesh or thoughts or empires,And words can make souls live beyond the grave.So Man will ever know the wonder of them -The courage that they showed...the joy they gave.
