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

lol
I don't know, I think most
poet's, worry more
about their spelling and grammatical, mistakes
than having some warped notion
of carrying the world
on their scrawny shoulders..
(but then I wouldn't know
I'm a mere wannabe
maybe one day
for while I breathe, I can still dream)
lol
True, L.B. perhaps there are now more variants than what has been recorded handed down to us. Thanks for your words in response.
I think that the soul of the poet sees deeper, feels deeper, and can't help but express. That expression prods us to think deeper. Well done poet!
Thanks, Bella Shephard! I have heard some time ago that this sensitivity and depth is almost shamanic and very spiritual in its feel.
