Not Dark Yet: Poetry

ORIGINAL POETRY (Click on the title to go to the blog entry where the poem is posted)

The poet often taps into what Jung called our collective unconscious, giving voice to our humanity and meaning to our struggles. A good poem, therefore, tells us something we already know. When we read it or hear it we say, “Ah, yes.” An exceptional poem tells us something we are on the verge of knowing. When we read it or hear it, we say, “Oh my!”
