You asked if my poetic skills <br />would be what an emetic fills <br />namely a basin of foul smelling <br />regurgitate, there is no telling <br />what someone sees in poetry <br />for me it's what the gods decree <br />somewhere the talent lies and sleeps <br />until the time comes where he keeps <br />it under wraps no longer, hidden <br />and out it comes, at times unbidden. <br />Poetic skills are not for all <br />some do prefer the shopping Mall <br />but those who can appreciate <br />and joyfully do contemplate <br />a poem as it lives and loves <br />the subject can be hawks or doves <br />those are the ones with open hearts <br />and they take in this art of arts.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/your-question-about-poetry/
