A great collection of poems 
that remind us 
poetry doesn’t have to be rhyming, 
one only needs to know 
the art of language, 
and how to weave the words 
in a way 
that touches the reader’s soul.

And it’s clear, 
that Ted Virts indeed 
mastered that art, 
as it touched 
my soul 
at least.

Particularly 
the “write an ‘I am’ poem” 
poem 
was really good.
Made me think 
and wonder 
and let my thoughts 
wander 
—I think.

Quite inspiring.
Indeed so much, 
it might be how I choose to express 
my inner world 
the next few days.
