Author's Notes/Comments: 

Started this thread on June 9, 2022, but now moving it here. Perhaps as this thread continues to lengthen it shall feature other such poems that have influenced my life and writing. Hope you enjoy this journey as I foresee myself sharing my travels in poetry with you. Cheers, Rik.

a poet's tears

Folder: 
ars poesia

some time, somewhere, out there


someone had said
that one part of poetry
is a reservoir that holds
all the sadness of this world


What then does this say of a poet?


it is not seen how
that portion poets bear
bare on virginal leaves
all their flight and fears


are tears morphed in pressed ink
