Jeffry Cohan Poet I do not know?

Poetic Drops of Naked Music

POETIC DROPS OF NAKED MUSIC

Writing drops of poetry, writing drops of rhyme
Dripping, dripping so sublime
Hush and hear their words fall lightly to the ground
Drops of poetry with nary a sound

Nay, there are no sounds to poetry but for the speaker
Some will tell you the world is wonderful however I say it’s getting bleaker
Some poetry will boldly describe, in accurate detail, a tale
While poets leave drops of poetry as did Hansel and Gretel to follow a trail

Sometimes that course leads a poet off course
Yet he writes against any power or force
Poets open their eyes and beg you to open yours
These wordsmiths live in towers with a hallway and only poetry will open its doors

Doors in a hallway that can make one laugh or cry
While one poet needs another to put the “good” back in “goodbye”
Still others are tortured and need that which only a needle will do
Well that’s how it is for me, I know nothing at all about you

Poets are very sensitive folk who require only a concept and a pen
But then there are poets such as me who are weak in a powerful way 

I leave drops of tears mixed with my poetry that drips
Because sometimes it’s pharmaceuticals which my shaking hand grips
Words pour forth from beyond a realm of my mind
And in the end drops of poetry is all I’ll have to leave behind

Black Eyed Susan May 9, 2011 at 6:03 AM Your 1st stanza flows really well. I really like the concept of dripping w/no sound. Your 2nd stanza - maybe add a few more commas - after wonderful and however and poetry in the last line. In the 3rd stanza, just a question, is "with a hallway" important to you or your description? Because it breaks up the rhythm of the line. In your second poem, maybe add some commas too. I like the "shaking hand" image + you really nailed it with the ending. Just my 2 cents.
