What's In a Poets Mind?

Clearly you can see, 
It’s about the likeness of you and me 

It about true expression 
With a different meaning an a impression
 
It’s a flower you can visualize 
And its beauty, truly you can tantalize 

Yet we’ve taken and brought into the light 
It may be delicate moments that we’ve made bright
 
Surely its about seasons and reflections 
And lover's connections 

I know its grandma’s cooking 
And grandpa he was so good looking 

Maybe it inspirational 
A new life with God, sensational
 
Its about dreams and possibilities 
Then its about war and hostilites

It’s about depression 
And the sadness of rejection 

What’s in a poets mind? 
I’m sure you can see 

It’s life, love and all thee above 
Wouldn’t you agree?

Nice Stuff! The mind of the poet is like a kaleidoscope of images on a big ferris wheel. A poet lives dreams on cotton candy clouds. Keep sharing

Laura, what a vivid description of the wide horizon of thoughts of a poet. There is no boundary of imagination - a horizon that is immeasurable - a sea which is fathomless. I am in love with your writings. Thanks for your lavish praise of my poem Your Portrait. Mohammad
