Feelings and emotions flow through the conduit of the mind and assemble themselves into a poem. A poet is only a vehicle. I wonder if you meant the same. Profound !

Exactly! Thank you, Valsa. And not all our feelings, when poetically in tune, we draw from world consciousness, Divine Consciousness -- mere conduits, I take no credit nor blame. I wish:) You made my day, Valsa. Blessings.

I enjoyed reading your Lovely "The Poet" write. Love your ending for it is up to the reader to give credit or blame. Oh yes, the words dance as the reader, reads them. Have a wonderful day and holiday weekend writing away...............

Hi Paula; thank you so much for commenting. In my opinion, the creation of poetry, its source, should be sort of a mystery...it is what separates our art from other forms of writing...adding sort of a mystical element not found elsewhere. Blessings my friend. Have a great writing day!
