Poets

How do you begin to write a poem for the poets? A poem for the people passing through life unnoticed A poem for fellow soldiers fighting a common war A poem for the shy souls feeling fear at its core. How do you proceed to pen poetry for such dreamers? Pieces of peace for elaborate existential overthinkers A poem for the ever labelled eternal "benchwarmers" A poem for the kids awake late in their room corners. How does one find the words to paraphrase such beings? Creatures with purpose no less than you and me Vigilantes masked in facades they choose to dawn Caped in hidden colours as through life they carry on With tokens of structured syllables they serenade the mind For whether we know it or not, our thoughts long for rhyme So in the rhythm of similar sonnets once played from David's harp I write this poem about you; another poet at heart.
