Where Do Poets Go

Where Do Poets Go
A tribute to All Poetry Soup Poets of the Past 

Where do Poets go, when it’s time to create? 
Imagery through thoughts, so that others can relate,
What place can they find, that can offer immense solitude, 
When creative juices are flowing, at random magnitudes?

How do they find time, through the hurries of day?
To put things in perspective in a most unusual way.
Why put so much passion, on the pages of each write? 
Words of joy and laughter joining those of grim and strife.

These questions may seem trivial, to one without a clue,
So I’ll try my best to answers, from a layman’s point of view.
We Poets, all go to the same place, into the channels of our mind,
To create beauty through written words, for pleasures yours and mine.

Poets are no different, than an artist working on a set,
Perfected lines of color, mirrored image, words of text!
Creativity and imagination, is what it take to find,
The place where Poet’s go, on their quest to design!

When I write, I leave this earthly plain behind as I travel through the visions in my mind. Wonderful writing, Sarita. Elaine

You are so correct, my dear. "Imagery through thoughts so that others can relate" sometimes we wish everyone would just open their damned eyes. I really like this, Sarita. You have put some thought into this A7 from me.
