The Poet

Poets require passion and sensitive feelings 
Of life’s experiences and all its dealings 
Love, happiness, pain and sorrow 
To understand today and want tomorrow
It’s not enough to feel the mood 
Something inside gets stirred and moved 
Like listening to music or being able to sing 
Poets write; the release is everything
An orchestration of words, arranged and played 
Strung together and then conveyed 
To eyes and ears in sentence and verse 
Dwelled on and read, for better or worse.

We poets are a rare breed aren't we? Often hard for us to talk about deep feelings to others, yet we spill our heart and soul to perfect strangers in our poems! Well written observation. Welcome to PoetrySoup :)
