Good poets are born, not fashioned. <br />The masters of sterility <br />write verses in prose and christen <br />them in the name of Poetry. <br />Meters are measured arrangements, <br />rhyme is correspondence of sound; <br />But devoid of inspiration <br />results, if ever, rarely found. <br />A poem must be a poet’s breath: <br />On inhalation he creates, <br />the exhalation, he narrates <br />Breathing life into words once dead.<br /><br />Albert Ahearn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/poets-are-born-2/
