Poets and Poetry

In pondering poets and poetry, the question rises
as to what inspires both .

Poets are musicians, singers, vocalists, soothsayers
drowning and recording the aching spirits of the soul. 

They speak the mind and heart revealing
the very secrets of life.

Young poets draw upon their youth, it's very passion and lust
a little unsure of the difference.

Mid age poets reveal the pursuit of youthful 
the hopes and dreams still unachieved.

Old  poets live just a little more purposefully
calling to mind memories of love and life from the heart of their souls.

In those of us who write, each poet lives forever
the young, mid age and old live on in their poetry and poems
Eternally!
