A Poet's Anxiety, 7

A poet's anxiety is all-encompassing.
although she is trembling
pray that she'll still be
be the poet
that we need
she is clever
watch her
and wait
to explain, 
to explore, 
and to exploit her own world.

Hi Chante. Nice pen work. I see a poetess rising. It was a great read for me, and you've done a fine job and clever indeed. Thank you and I look forward to reading more. Have a great day. Best of Wishes, William
