A Poet.
A poet desires to walk
through untrod fields,
looking for treasures others leave
and picks diamond yields
from where no one looked before.
Some gems a poet will store
for usable times
folding away in unique style
awe's gold to a scribe
who feels need for authentic more.

simply Brilliant, dear fay
makes me want to go scribble
something/anything, poetic
this very moment!
(Poesy's, 'gold rush'
evermore abundant, with vigour never dwindling
'excavating' from within, while digging
everything, that hovers near
its starving, sense's..
and it all begins, anew
next time, a kid
reads a verse and begins
to see
that gold nugget in the sky
and those pearls, hiding in clouds
while threading upon 'liquid silver'
rivers, of life)
Your gem of a comment is truly appreciated my dear L.B. and if reading my offering makes you want to go scribble I am more than delighted and filled with true thanks..
"Untrod fields,looking for treasure"
We do indeed.Sometimes we find a brick wall.Other times,a treasure chest.
Great poem Fay.
Merci beaucoup for your welcome visit and lovely comment my friend.
good poem
Thank you for dropping by for a read jazz - -- it seems the subject makes up for the strange linage which I could not alter however I tried.
It takes the true heart of a poet to recognize the treasures that others may never see. Your heart is bursting with treasures and I am always in awe.
Thank you Bella. How kindly your comment on my small offering of tribute to poets who look at all sides of the simple t;hings.
A wonderful treat to read! Thanks Fay!
And a big thank you for stopping by for a read James.
This is wonderful. Two things just changed for me,:
1) I have to look for the "Untrod fields"
2) I have to start a file for "Gems."
I read this and felt a lot better about myself. I think you have the heart of a poet. Never have I thought about what a poet is in quite the same way that you've expressed here. Loved it. -Phil A.
