In a world woven with words, there exists a distinct form of artistic

expression that resonates deep within the human soul. A rhythmic piece of

writing, adorned with metaphors that dance on the page, emerges as a

symphony of language, occupying a realm somewhere between speech

and song. This unique entity, known as poetry, captivates hearts and

minds, enchanting readers with its melody and imagery.

As we embark on this exploration of the profound art of poetry, let us seek

to embrace its complexities and revel in its mysteries. Join me Stanley

Scott Jr as we traverse the enchanted realm of words and emotions,

venturing into the land of metaphor and rhyme. Each poem is a reflection of

the different parts of my life as a teacher, student, dock worker, counselor,

steward, trustee, trusted servant, artist, producer, traveler, owner, family

member, friend, mentor/mentee, sponsor/sponsee, and loving human

being. Together, we shall unlock a world where speech and song

converge, where beauty and emotion intertwine, and where the symphony

of words forever echoes in our souls through poems.
