A Poet's Definition

Inscribe it all down Just read it do not make a sound Leave nothing behind Poetry is the world of creative minds Some words quite short-lived Support and respect is what you need to give Poets are possessed of senses That allowed them to perceive Read it with a thoughtful mind and you will receive For tomorrow is never yesterday Far beyond what words can say Or any eyes could see Keep reading just do not believe me We have perception and knowledge That is what makes us skilled and polished Like water the words flow Very gifted as a prophet as well; Friend to Gods and heroes, With so many tales to tell? I do not depend on man’s well-being or material prosperity It is like trying to cure the outward symptoms and neglect the main cause of the malady Poetry is generally viewed as the look of human joys and sorrows I will always put pen to paper whether it is today or tomorrow Poetry has reached a higher level of consciousness and inspiration There is no other explanation It renovates a satisfying experience and delights That is why I love to write
