The Great Poets

How does a poem have swelling emotion? How can it reach to the depths of my being? How can they take just a pitiful notion Write it with care to a poem that's breathing? How can mere words form a rhythm of beauty? How do their tho'ts spark a fire of duty? Here is the answer, the pen of a master Gifted to shout or to quietly whisper. ~ For the contest, Poetry About Poetry. Second Place. ~ Written January the ninth, 2013
