Summary/Abstract: The main subject of the article is discussion of Leszek Aleksander Moczulski’s poetry presented in two of his poetic collections entitled: 70 widoków w drodze do Wenecji (“70 views on the road to Venice”) [1992] and Lśnienia (“Gleams”) [2018]. L.A. Moczulski (died on 17th December 2017) was one of the most famous contemporary Polish poets and author of popular stunners, which were sung by Polish beat groups like Skaldowie and Dżamble as well as by the famous Cracow singer Marek Grechuta. The author of this article shows an evolution of L.A. Moczulski’s poetry –from his „usual” poems to „charitable” ones; he also emphasizes that the main aim of the poet is to clarify his poetic words in order to affirm all aspects of reality created by God.
