“Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the human heart can hold.”
…But if I might be so bold
While I don’t know the exact amount
From what I have found
I believe
The human spirit
Can store
Even more

The rest is from me.

I’m really liking your poetry, Russ!
Hugs,

That’s great to hear because if you weren’t you’d most likely be getting very sick of it about now! Thank you for letting me know, Cathy. It’s strange to think that it was only a short time ago (weeks or perhaps a month or three) that I wrote my first poem as an adult, and had written very little as a child. Poetry must have been inside me all that time waiting for me to realize that I might have something to say in a poetic way.

Great work again Russ… love it…
Thank you, my friend! I love that you love it!
