  11. From Donna Wallace--

    "Whispers" is a safe place to dwell so pick up your feet and stay awhile - which is exactly what I did! "Whispers" is a place of beauty and poetry that moves your soul and opens your heart. Being a poet I felt at home there. I found myself loving all the poetry and poets "living there"

    What a beautiful thing poetry is. Paintings from the heart that leave a special mark that will last forever. Whether complete love stories or snippets of insight - poetry is such a beautiful language.

    Thank you. All the poets who make this there home or have posted their work on Whispers. I hope to be counted among you one day soon?

    Love and Light,
    Donna Wallace
