A Poet's Life

in a quiet place secluded & alone comfortable with the silence a pen is posed to write & to bleed words all else is of no matter the inspiration is almost there of nature & dreams & spiritual thoughts perhaps of life's sorrows then the pen pours out the words on white staining the paper & the poet is weeping weeping for the poet knows it is good ink that they have poured ___________________ July 12, 2021 Poetry/Bio/a poet's life Copyright Protected, ID 07-1371-628-12 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, A Brian Strand July 13 sponsor, Brian Strand, Judged 07/13/2021 First Place

'to bleed words' 'staining the paper' 'for the poet knows it is good ink that they have poured' Wow. True Poesy. I am nowhere near you. While appreciating you, I also take this opportunity to thank you sincerely for the chance given to me to participate in your contest. Thank you very much.
