Poetry Is Lava Flow - a Poet's Worth
Poetry is Lava Flow – A Poet’s Worth
If “the laborer is worthy of his hire”
is the poet worthy of his “fire”?
Poetry is lava flow
erupting from the heat below
scalding scent of hatred’s heat
simmering haze of passion sweet
curtain call on molten stage
setting pen and page – ablaze.
Release the seeds of joy or pain
erase the psyches crippling stain
dance around the flame that frees
dance across the lettered keys.
Heed the rumblings at the core
of inky lava seeking shore
freed from the belly of the beast
eased by cool of steamed release.
