A Maverick free verse

The poet precept but if he doesn’t know it, that he is a poet,
is very apt to blow, for many concepts seek to slow it.

A poet knows that between love and life, there is no strife,
and strife cuts as a knife the sweetness of life.

As poetic primal alive is derived it comes alive.
`Tis a gigantic river that doesn’t strive.

It becomes one’s notion in quite a smooth motion,
that notion in motion is smooth locomotion,
reveals that love was inspiration of notion. 

`T was love’s first notion in motion that gave forth explosion,
Personal trinity of the three, in personal glee.

If one doesn’t know it that he is a poet,
his source will dry up, not even a super-rut,
nor dribble of syllable.

Love is the source, of course,
The poet‘s riches of source.

God gave me the gift of writing, it was no accident, and I know it, my pen drips with words because of the poet precept, provided by his divine glory. I loved your poem written here and John, I read your recent blog also and so agree with all you wrote, what the world needs is more people with a conscious, I recently watched a movie called, The Stoning, a true story, I will not give you details except to say those people had no conscious, the cruely of mankind is horrific~~
