What Manner of Poet, Are You

Are you a poet, as some folks say, who can with your words, portray emotions that can make a reader cry? Are you a poet, as some folks believe, who can with your words, have us grieve, for a friend who has said Goodbye? Are you a poet, whose words can paint a picture that allows us, without restraint, to reminisce on times gone by? Are you a poet, who waxes lyrical, to lampoon lovers, with words satirical, that adds further angst, to their every sigh? Are you a poet with loquacious bent, that can change another’s sworn intent, to ignore every need or heartfelt cry? Are you a poet, whose capricious phrase, triggers laughter that brightens our days, with humour therein, few can deny? Are you a poet, whose words can excite, a patriotic reader to take up the fight and answer the call of your rallying cry? Or are you a poet, whose words mundane, do naught but constantly echo a broken refrain, that excites an anguished reader to cry - But why? Rhymer. November 13th, 2016 -
