The Poet World

Most people believe poets live in a fantasy world
where reality does not exist.  Yet others believe
Poets expand the views we have about reality.

There are poems that when we repeat reading them,
have gradually made us think of areas which we
have experience before. 

Poets transcribe their vision that makes us wonder 
and exposes possibilities of language.They transcribe 
their vision into poems.

Poems force us to ask questions about how 
we view ourselves. They make us think again about
how we live and paint pictures with words.

Poets direct us to see what we are capable of
accomplishing and that surely deepens the gift 
that makes us human.

Poems let us know when we are manipulated
by the powers that be. The descriptions given to 
us by poems allow us to see reality. 

Unlike Scientists who are cold-hearted dissectors 
of what is beautiful, poets are heirs to that
which lies between our heads and our heart.
