A Poet Who Doesn'T Feel--
A poet who doesn't feel
Is like a dealer who doesn't deal
A knife sharpener without a steel.
A writer who won't emote
Is like a schoolboy reciting by rote
A person who truly never wrote.
This dabbler 'I' at least tried
With words like feelings that never lied
Or sought coldness as a place to hide.
"Upon Looking in a Modern Volume of Verse"
