in praise of a fellow poet <br /> <br /> <br />when someone’s doing <br />quietly <br />something which is <br />perfect in itself <br /> <br />then <br />to praise or to encourage <br />seems almost like <br />an insult <br />to them or <br />to perfection <br /> <br />I just wanted to say <br />what I’ve said <br /> <br />and you and I <br />share something which is <br />beyond the words <br /> <br />which we arrange <br />upon the page <br />to honour <br />‘something understood’<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-praise-of-a-fellow-poet/
