PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

poetry is
calisthenics
for the mind
a repetitious
process
that in the subconscious
develops over time
one does not choose to
be a poet
rather poetry chooses them
it is a particular venue
that in thought no
two brains can live
dreams and poetry
hail from similar spheres
poems like dreams
are so very difficult
to get back to
some seek poetry
for the foolish means
of their own
hoped for fame
most true poets
understand though
they are but conduits
a vessel the words
are carried through
to arrive on this
present plane
the storms shall
always form
and the visions
sharpen so to be
clear
poetry can be
eye glasses
to a world
where astigmatism
and short sightedness
plunges on
wrapping the unseeable
in clearer sight's grace
without them
into further darkness
and miscalculations
of fractured understanding
the world would more sadly
find itself
so praise be to the writers
who heed 'The Poetic Calling'
for they are the rocks
who sort out the prose
from all that jumbled graffiti ..................
