    About this ebook

    Poetry: that fifth element: essential for human eyes to read, human ears to hear, and human hearts and souls to feel.  Four elements as envisioned by Linda Imbler within poetry’s arc: from the myth of Theros to the reality of tornadoes [Air,] within the depths of despair at the loss of flood victims to the beautiful imaginativeness that can develop while watching clouds [Water,] following the trail from horrible domestic violence to paranormality [Fire,] seeking truth about a present day metaphorical earthquake or the theory of a future apocalyptic world [Earth.]

      Apr 20, 2021

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life
