No one knows why the poet cry <br />How could they <br />The world has never seen a bird cry <br />Poets cry anyway <br />Long stream; high tides <br />The tears of a poet forms a line <br />In every stanza a nightingale delivers <br /> <br />The tears of a poet is a liquid rhyme <br />They flow freely with Iambic meter <br />Like sonnet in the theatre; <br />Like good in a channel of plenty <br /> <br />A poet is a prophet of art <br />Art is nature <br />The tears of a poet is a mass of intellectual vapour <br />Floating on his mind <br /> <br />The price of a poet is service <br />His pride; humility, his tears; respect <br />For poetry is service, humility, respect<br /><br />Matthias Pantaleon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-weeping-poet/
