Armenian Poets

Last night while I was on MSN with a friend of mine in Toronto, I made a statement connected to the English saying "Still waters run deep". He then asked me if I had heard of an Armenian poet named Bedros Tourian. Not being the biggest Hye-a-get (Armenian expert) in the world, I shamefully answered "No". Then proceeded to look him up on Google.

Ahhhh, Google: hasnt let me down yet! I found the poem he was referring to and as I read it, my heart sank and my eyes filled with tears. All this in the middle of a very crowded, very loud internet cafe. I will include the link below for those of you interested.

This morning I opened my email to see several poems in my inbox. I have never gotten poetry before, and I dare say its as good, if not better than getting flowers. If a touch on the cheek can caress you physically, something like that caresses your soul.

So for those guys out there who don't know how to reach someone at their core, SEND POETRY!
