Here in My True Vision of Poetry is the opinion of Poet Laureate John A. Williams and twenty-eight poems about love, passion, greed, hate, birth, envy, prayers, blessings, and even death. John derives great satisfaction from writing poems. Some of these poems made famous by the International Society of Poets. Poetry is putting words and ideas together to express feelings or emotions symbolically, metaphorically, ironically, or through personification, alliteration, and many other figures of speech. A great poem can live in the mind of the reader and assist an individual to have a positive and successful life.
