The Poet’s Creed

Michael A. McGuire

I am a Poet! My mind forged by
the gods; with dreams and insight
like that of a thousand children
who have lived then regretted their
birth for having known the Truth
and too much Knowledge!

To myself, I am dead to the Physical
World yet reborn in the spirit
of the Universe! Immortal amongst
mortals yet destined to be destroyed
by their swift hand!

    In The Old Man and the Sea, Hemingway reminds us: "A man can be destroyed but not defeated."
