READING RIMBAUD IN LUCID LIGHT

Reading Rimbaud

in lucid light

and blowing thru

the prosetry

of the soul

 

It inspires

& frustrates

 

It has reminded me

of my own failings

& shortcomings

 

and that is,

to say the least,

quite discomforting

I like this poem very much.  Rimbaud inspired two of my favorite Poets---the French diplomat Paul Claudel (France's ambassador to the USA 1928-1933) and Cordwainer Smith, a science fiction writer.  And I love that word "prosetry" in fourth line.  May I ask its source?
