LIKE SO MANY POEMS I READ <br /> <br />Like so many poems I read <br />These poems I am reading now <br />Are not poems to me. <br /> <br />They are too detached <br />Too abstract <br />Too up in the air. <br /> <br />I want to hear the words <br />Make a music of feeling <br />In my soul. <br /> <br /> <br />A poem must move me <br />If it is to be real. <br /> <br />Why then do I write these words <br />as if a poem?<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/like-so-many-poems-i-read/
