Poets Are Not a Forgotten People

A poet looks intently at our world through a visible but very delicate lens/ Does all of the wishes that they aspire come true ? Well ! It all depends ? Yet through those delicate eyes we derive a most solemn surprise/ For some maybe their grace has not fallen on them ? I don't think as a poet as a liar per say, Rather, someone who connects with that half of the brain/ That no one bothers to tap into, Although for now though dimly, Yet what one does today will forever be echoed throughout all eternity ! Poetry/ Hits on many topics and aspects of life, Relationships and material/ There can be no substitute for the real you/ Hence, it's all based upon choices, For the materialization of the given subject matter, To equate one's whole being as squeezing the tooth paste out/ Hence their is always still some **** left in the bottom of the tube ! Still what may be true for you may not be for someone else ? The poet should have a keen sense of vital improvisation/ Yet to not relent when critics start bashing one's subject matter, This is a clear indication that as a professional writer/ One must pay real attention to the mere tone of the subject matter, People could see through the lies/ Lastly, a true poet never dies, Rather lives on in the many hearts of their adoring fans !

Oh yes, Mario, the poet does "connect with that half of the brain that no one bothers to tap." That's what makes the poet's words so profound, even confusing to some who cannot relate. Keen observations that are right on target in this poem. Love, Carolyn
