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.

That's right, Timothy--the human condition. That's what we poets need to write about. It's not always pretty but it needs to be told. Good for you!

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
