The Archaeology of Poetry
Writing a good poem
Is like creating something exquisite
Out of shards of random rubble.
Inspiration is the mysterious impulse that moves a poet
To articulate them into something wonderful.
In other words,
A poet is like an archaeologist,
His poems are already inside him
Like relics waiting to be dug up,
Dusted off,
And put on display.
