How Many Poets:

How many poets have scribed about a sunset or sunrise?
And yet can we truly capture what lies in their eyes?
How many poets have written on the subject of love?
Or the glory within each shining star that glitters above?

I agree w/the other poetesses/poets, Rick. A thoughtful and incisive poem. Makes someone not think so much of them self. Good write indeed. Keep the knowledge flowing, and the light glowing. Love to you always.

Yes the layers of the poet run far deeper than even their words can describe, you always leave such encouraging comments Freddie, and for that, a huge thank you my friend /|\

In many areas of life words fail us, that's why I write few poems on describing certain features of nature. A painting comes closer to the real thing. Thanks for reading my humor. Best to you in your writing endeavors. / M

Are we really so predictable? Or are all our words as unique as yours? Nice write.

Love this Quatrain and hope to see such written in sonnet form. As from that opening , I know you'd make it a spectacular sonnet as well.A7

Yes we all have our own spin on different subjects, don't we. This poem has failed it would appear in the text. I was trying to convey that in the poet's head it runs even deeper than his words. /|\
