Poems About Poetry/Writing The poet's mind...
a chasm overfilled
where words become water, ideas, bread
food for thought
such a literary hunger
starving for sustenance
on tidbits of inception.
A yearning, urging desire
to put forth meaning
spelling out in their perspective
an understanding of what flows
in the poet's mind.
In the poet's mind
dreams are real
visions are creation
contrived of images, scenes, scenarios
which originate deep.
Mundane everyday things
become brilliant imagery
brought to life in vibrant, vivid color.
A story to be told in all that surrounds
all that is experienced
all that is felt
in the poet's mind.
In the poet's mind
emotions are given breath
through whispers from the soul.
Tear stained pages
of personal turmoil fill volumes
and speak the same.
Heartache and passion intertwine
broken and healed all in same verse.
Silent utterances cry out to be heard
through eyes of others
in the poet's mind.
In the poet's mind
fantasy and reality are one in the same
confused by onslaughts of overwrought reflections.
With pensive pen
life is thrust forth like blade into vein
amidst screams of punctuation
emphasizing pain
highlighting sorrow.
There's no rest
in the poet's mind.
In the poet's mind
they devise while sleeping prone
in silent reverie
every moment becoming contemplation
every flash of illusion becoming conception.
They must write
they must compose.
To staunch what runs so fluidly in their blood
would surely destroy...
the poet's mind.
