Poets Dream To Inspire Others
Poets Dream To Inspire Others
Very few share their deepest inner thoughts and fears
those birthed before ever first had soft baby tears
Takes one stout of heart and secure in giving mind
to share such freely and openly with all of mankind
Such thinkers and poets are truly a special breed
freely forcing their hearts and minds to bleed
That others may gain some insight, some small part
of how man weds his inner soul with his open heart
No declaration that such men much better or worse
than any other people living with this world's curse
Just far more willing to be criticized or given praise
for thoughts presented and wonderful hope they raise
Robert J. Lindley
note: Poetry is a lot of things but first and foremost it should be about
giving to others by way of writing for the edification of those that read it.
