The Situation of the Poet

I write poems and we write together. 
We always do it. There is wheat in them,
Also the sun, and the dripping moon.
We do not want the house but our inner peace;
Not praise but the smiling face of every child.
In the days when the orchid falls and opens,
Lonely and happy to talk with the world.

Being a writer or a poet is indeed a wonderful thing. It allows us to express ourselves when we need to most and then to share that with others... and you have done that so well with this poem and it's lovely imagery. Nicely done!

After writing: I am a man who tries to write poetry. Poetry, poet, poetic life is my lifelong pursuit. Poetry is the second Sun and our spiritual food, which interpreters the love of human, the most noble soul and pursuit ,and makes our souls together. We could together express freedom, happiness, warmth and sadness in it. As poets, we'd never rely on her in exchange for fame, car or house, and we just keep quiet mood through her; we'd never rely on her to win praise,and all we dream about is the smiling face of every child—we just wish this world be full of equality, democracy, freedom and peace. The flowers bloom and fall year by year; not pleased by external gains, not saddened by personal losses.In fact,writing poetry lonely and living an optimistic life is so lucky and happy.(23o'clock, April 11, 2017,by Shmily Wang)
