Forever Analyzing
Many may be called but few chosen
this one feels when penning a line
you wonder where is it all from
look into the skies for a sign!
One looks within to find a feeling
sometimes maybe this could be true
but surely not on every occasion
all these dragons to fight, so must slew
Anything worthwhile that's achieved
comes from determined inspiration
many things can inspire a poet
who needs true grit on many an occasion
So be sure to be forever analyzing
look in deep to see your condition
it's not a p[rofession you're part of
poetically speaking one feels pure elation
Don't fall into the trap just to profess
for within your diagnosis shows a condition
filling your mind with words and phrases aplenty
this x-ray reveals hope for a rendition
('To be a poet is a condition, not a profession' )- Robert Graves (1895-1985)
