"Croft of Light" is a forum for poetry, photography, and philology (the love of language). With Emily Dickinson as a tutor, Dag Hammarskjold as a mentor, and Noah Webster as a teacher, I hope to express light through lyric verse. Many of the texts are psalms, meant for musical accompaniment. My style favors simplicity and sincerity. My voice can be comic or serious. My tone may be innocent or ironic. Some of the pieces are just for practice. Respectful responses and comments are welcome.
"A collection of maxims, grave sentences or reflections." Webster 1844
You are better than the depression,
Are brighter than the deprivation,
Are bolder than the desolation,
Braver than the debilitation.
Sing the sonnets of liberation,
Write the legacies of creation,
The verses of exhilaration,
The images of revelation.
