From Poet's Hand - 101 Collected Poems (Paperback)

Lyric, lyric, lyric... What we think when we hear the word lyric? Originally - from the Greek word, lyra, meaning lyre, lyric poetry, refers to a short song accompanied by a musical instrument, almost always the lyre. And so is lyric, and so are poems, in the broadest sense, nothing more than "Enscripturated singing" with all its forms of expression. For where a man feels when he suffers, loves and laughs, then sings and writes it. Each poem is a small world, a work of art, a possibility of spontaneous expression. A release of emotions. And the poetry lives ... lived through the change of time, breathing the breath of time, in all its shades.
