A River of Knowledge
I admit to have been influenced as Keats
by some remarkable poets who used unusual beats,
slowly delving into their very logical and intellectual minds...
so amazed by what they wrote despite their struggling times.
The first written poem came from Egypt: a hymn to Aron her god,
the Greeks copied the form and style with great skills:
Homer wrote the famous Odyssey, then the Romans
did the same and Virgil wrote, the long epic poem, " Aeneid. "
Who has ever doubted that my poetry isn't authentic?
It came from an unexpected idea that spread like wild fire at a very young age,
empowering my senses to feel, see, touch and hear without being too frantic...
by letting words flow as I stood by a river of knowledge.
