So, you think that you are a poet… <br />You write from your heart, because you know it. <br />You think your thoughts are important, so you show it. <br /> <br />Years from now your poems may be found and read. <br />The readers may question the words that are said. <br />Did the writer have all her marbles in her head? <br /> <br />Are the thoughts expressed purely fictional? <br />Some are normal, but others are very unusual. <br />The written words invoke images that are visual. <br /> <br />Within each poem are feelings that are unique. <br />Sometimes the emotions are extremely bleak. <br />Often humor is written with tongue in cheek. <br /> <br />There are many poems written about people with names. <br />They are characters who are real with portraits in frames. <br />They touch the life of the poet and are deserving of acclaims. <br /> <br />A world of discovery is portrayed with human voices. <br />Finding how to survive when making difficult choices. <br />Expressing triumphs of success with cheering rejoices. <br /> <br />There are many reasons why a poet writes with rhyme. <br />There is an inner desire to express memories in time. <br />There are needs to be creative and record a lifetime.<br /><br />Theresa Ann Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-poet-32/
