Very inspiring! Like breathing and heartbeats, writing is autonomic for the poet. We write even when unaware, it is how we see the world and articulate to ourselves and others. While crafting a poem may take conscious consideration, poetry is a poet's birthright. Love it! Thank you.

A true ode to all of us who take up the metaphorical quill and attempt the harness of art of poetry, and a nice tie in with the seasonal myrrh and frankincense
