Laura Mckenzie Poet Free verse

The Poets Chair

It's there where the tall winds howl at your door
Full of vision though it may be hidden and obscure 

Thoughts wheeling and floundering in the air 
Its heard in many voices some so clear 

It’s where dreams are made 
And where some have been broken  

And so its solitude and social gratitude 
It’s spoken 

Poetry is aroused and made exclusive in the writers eyes 
At times it’s private and intrusive 

It’s a love of expression and words 
It’s a puzzle in a picture and a maze 

And there before your very eyes it’s declared 
Somewhere, it forms from out of a poets chair
