THE POEM IS A METAPHOR / FOR WHATEVER THE POET NEEDS IT TO BE <br /> <br />The Poem is a Metaphor <br />For whatever the poet needs it to be- <br />It need not know its own name <br />Or its destination- <br />It simply may suddenly appear <br />And take us to a place we’ve never been, <br />To a connection we never would have found on our own. <br /> <br />The Metaphor is a vehicle of transport for the Soul <br />And he who spells it out literally <br />Grounds it. <br /> <br />Why then oh why is this where we all be?<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-poem-is-a-metaphor-for-whatever-the-poet-needs-it-to-be/
