Rare We Must Be

Accidental Poet

 

Rare we must be

To write words in this way

As all poets will gladly admit

To give of ourselves everyday

 

We dig deep

To our own heart’s core

Listening to our inner muse

Then finding so much more

 

Descriptive words

Coaxed to mingle with others

To work together

Like loving sisters and brothers

 

All within a poet’s heart

Passion feeding upon itself

A breeding ground gives birth

Of your poetic wealth

 

Of twinkling stars

You might speak fondly

Giving clue to wishes

On love so warmly

 

How feverishly a poet writes

Pulling words from a deep abyss

Landing upon the page

With a soft loving kiss

      A fine list of reasons why writers plough on every day to bring warmth of word-wealth to all readers and your work does just this dear A.P.

            Very good write and so true, the words are within all poets and we must get them onto the page.
