A poet is not poetic
poets are the most un-poetical creatures
confounded and confused by their own minds
struggling to create,
not realizing it must come as freely as leaves to trees
A poet is not poetic
words come quickly, the wrong ones
in conversations with ones we admire or adore
besieged by thoughts
unbidden burdens to share a world of our own invention
A poet is not poetic
revealing wonders
unspoken yet frightfully implied
the secrets of hearts and heads
in black and white for all the world to see.
