Constance La France Poet Bio

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
