Some call it the "music of souls" --- others, the "rhythm of life." Whatever you call it, poetry is an art form which we turn to time and time again to express our innermost thoughts, hopes, sorrows, dreams, and desires. From the epic verse of Homer, to the sonnets of Shakespeare. . . .to the simplest nursery rhyme, a greeting card, or the lyrics to a favorite song. . . .it is a rare person who does not experience poetry, in some form, every day. On this page you will find links to sites by folks who help to put the "Heart" in the Heartland Community --- the poetry lovers and the poets --- those gifted people who have the unique and wonderful ability to express those emotions for which most of us can't find the words. . . .Enjoy!!!

She has organized her poems into categories, such as "Poetry of the Earth," Poetry of the Night," Poetry of the Heart," etc. Some of them are quite good.....her page design and layout are beautiful, as is the music she has chosen to set the mood for her pages.
