There is Madness inside Each Poet

There is a madness inside each poet
Some try to cover it up with religious squabble and chatter
We who know laugh at their silliness

There cannot be total sanity in people
Who pour their soul onto a page
Holding their breath, waiting to see what will happen

Sometimes I think I am going to be killed for one of my poems
And no one comments on it at all
No death threats?
This is a disappointment

Which proves what I said about madness
Right?

It is like sticking one's head through the proverbial hole in the fence...and smiling.

You have your finger in the pulse of poets better than one would expect. I’ve been accused of writing about a certain one who always damns me. Such is the way the mind of a narcissist works.
