I chose to call this site “Cardinal Points Poetry” because cardinal is such an evocative word. As a wanderer, I’m especially drawn to it because cardinal points refers to compass points. Also, I plan to begin to post as electic a set of poems here as the word cardinal might indicate. Here are some of the other meanings of cardinal:
of foremost importance
pivotal
dark red, scarlet
a crested grosbeck
of a hinge
one of the four principal directions
any number that expresses amount
deadly sins
important virtues,
any of the four astrological signs: Aries, Cancer, Libra & Capricorn

Kristi, thanks so much. It is nice to know it isn’t totally sitting in a dark closet. Sandy
“of a hinge” – Ah, this meaning is new to me, but certainly opens wide the includsiveness of your work. Betsy
Betsy, so nice to hear from you, thanks for your kind observation. Sandy
Thanks for your powerful poem “Scarlet Lyrics” in The New Verse News. It led me here to learn more about its author. I am not disappointed. Best Wishes for your good work. Ann
