poetica

a poet's tears

Folder: 
ars poesia

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

Author's Notes/Comments: 

just a musing on poets, poetry and the poetic process
