Timothy Mattson Poet Rhyme

Job Description

I'm often asked by inquisitive minds;
As a poet, what do you do?
My answer feigns the illusive,
With hope to the rare and few.

I seek to express the human condition;
With words that color & texture, the tapestry that I weave . . .
Though at times the product seems unfinished,
And an area rug, is the remnant I leave.

Constance La France February 22, 2021 at 3:41 PM Timothy, wonderful poem, when I tell people I am a poet they seem to look at me oddly so I know what you mean, so many great lines in your poem but these really spoke to the poet who is me, "I seek to express the human condition; With words that color & texture, the tapestry that I weave . . ." - Constance
