Notes About The Poem

A Poets Dream

All poets are dreamers and writers
Who weave life into verse and rhyme 
Verse into heartfelt contemplations
The heart desires
Longs
For attention
A poet will expose himself to his great lengths
His ink shall flow like emotions dancing on a page
He may need to erase his thoughts, annul his dreams
Thus his pencil stands guard and erect
Love is erased with little effect
He scribbles his musings onto blank pages
Wondering if maybe the lass he so dreams
Will sit upon his pencil
Reading his very confessions of love

What is nice about a pencil is the eraser, it can move words around until your true feelings show. Blessings sir and a 7

A deeply contemplative write, Arthur. A poet can't help him/herselfself, but to write what he/she feels especially if it's about the love he/she has for someone. A 7.

In writing you have to confess your feelings and more than feelings you knew it always amazes us to write and what we put it in there. Nice pen, Arthur. Hugs and kisses. Amor//
