Ray Webber (poet)
Hi, welcome to Wikipedia and thanks for your additions to Ray Webber (poet). Unfortunately we cannot allow both the entire poem or an excerpt to be posted to the article, this is due to a number of reasons:
 * Encyclopedias (which Wikipedia is) rarely contain the work of their subjects - that is to say, the Encyclopædia Britannica would not publish a poem
 * Wikipedia cannot contain copyrighted material

Thanks for your understanding -- samtar talk or stalk 13:45, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
