Poetry Is Lava Flow - a Poet's Worth

Poetry is Lava Flow – A Poet’s Worth If “the laborer is worthy of his hire” is the poet worthy of his “fire”? Poetry is lava flow erupting from the heat below scalding scent of hatred’s heat simmering haze of passion sweet curtain call on molten stage setting pen and page – ablaze. Release the seeds of joy or pain erase the psyches crippling stain dance around the flame that frees dance across the lettered keys. Heed the rumblings at the core of inky lava seeking shore freed from the belly of the beast eased by cool of steamed release. 5/26/2015 submitted to – A Poet’s Worth – Poetry Contest sponsor – FJ Thomas
