POETRY PEARLS
"Poetry is thoughts that breatheand words that burn."
Thomas Gray 1716 - 1771
Lyric inspiration portrays the writer's personal feelings, states of mind and perceptions. Lyrical lines have celebrated spiritual themes, nature, love, and peace, as well as a full. wide range of human emotions. The very beautiful tradition of lyricism based on spiritual experience lives on in the work of John Donne, T.S. Eliot, and Gerard Manley Hopkins.
The word flow from Western lyric pens takes an amazing variety of forms, from the 14 line sonnet to contemporary unrhymed works. While the genre's name, derived from "lyre", implies that these verses are intended to be sung, many lyric creations are designed purely for reading enjoyment.
To feed your heart and spirit enjoy "GLORY".
