Call me traditional or technologically impaired,
But to pen my poems I preferred
On a piece of paper
Than to type them on a computer
Because the pencil is to the poet as
The chisel is to the sculptor;
And this idea should come to pass
In the mind of every Art creator,
For in his hands and mind
Is the quintessential Art of any kind!
L.P. Alexanders
