There's Something To Be Said For a Poet Who Is Dead

There's something to be said 
for a poet who is dead
because...
for a poet who is dead
there's something said
in the words his magic
wrapped as presents to
your breathing mind---
so when life makes you
feel trapped and small,
you'll see your soul
grow in his poetry--
how kind!
