The Curse of a Genuine Poet

Genuine poets...legitimate poets...who often, when composing...are hampered byan unrequested “curse”... A boundless intuition, that manipulates their quill to formulate their most objective verse, Tend to struggle - sometimes all through life - to disregard the painful truths the layman’s mind perceives, Wishing they could join the ranks of - “blissfully unawares” - which - as we know... “Reality” deceives! And FYI: I'll be posting a bunch of my AUDIO files over the next few months, most from my 4 new AUDIO-CDs, along with many more text files from my several books of verse. (Only a few CDs and books left - 2-12-21). Because, as with most poets, it simply depends on the mood I’m in at writing time, my verse, as you’ll discover, varies greatly from lightheartedly comical pieces to meaningfully poignant works. If you happen to like my style, and appreciate the variety, please visit my website’s at - www.writerofbooks.com. Cheers, Mark Stellinga
