A Poets Duty

A Poets Duty A sense of structure within a theme Imagination likened to a dream Tell a tale set the scene From life experiences we wean A tale full of wonderful words Gelled in rhyme to suit the nurds A free verse of considerable worth Exploiting the value of earth Stories that may be old or new Containing details not so true But gives the reader a sense Of the writer’s thoughts condensed A poet’s duty is immeasurable to their self But scrutinized and judged off the shelf Of published works penned by them read by those who would condemn If your words make you feel good Gives you a feeling of maybe you could Be heading down the track of knighthood Or voted to a heavenly sainthood
