Croft of Light

"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.

PERSONAS

People are more important than places.
Places are more important than things.
Things are more important than nothing.
Nothing is more important than people.

Cynthia Hallen said...: An "apherism" is a blend of an aphorism and a merism? Just kidding; it was a typo. Thanks for catching it.; July 16, 2008 at 3:58 PM
