The Responsibility of a Poet
Poetry is a reflection
Of our lives and our imagination,
And when he writes,
A poet should look hard
At what pleases him
And even harder at what doesn't.
He must be willing
To feel the emotions
That come from facing the world,
And his particular truths about it,
Unflinchingly.
