A Revelation of Greatness

If loneliness makes a poet out of one, Is it worth to pursue this ambition As a Friar Minor until he's gone... Following the burst of inspiration? So estranged from all, only breathing air... Writing with a frantic, insatiable urge; He will become a prisoner of his lair, Hiding his edentity 'till madness will surge. Resisting all changes and detesting pleas: He'll continue living and be a patriarc, Demanding peace in honorable deals... A patriot without fighting wars and havoc. His life will end, but his pain will be sealed With noble ideas waiting to be revealed.

You are right , a poet should not get isolated. The isolation must be shared and then it evaporates, Andrew

I think poetry is more a way of venting about our loneliness, Andrew. This is therapeutic in a way. Some of the greatest poets were very lonely -- Emily Dickinson, E.A. Poe after losing Lenore. But there were others who wrote uplifting verse that was inspired by happiness. Obviously, you got me thinking. Take care, Diane
