A POEM DOES NOT KNOW ITSELF <br /> A POEM DOES NOT KNOW ITSELF <br /> <br />A poem does not know itself <br />It is written from a mind not its own <br />It says what it does <br />And is what it is <br />Without being able to ask itself <br />Why it should live. <br /> <br />A poem is more than all it means <br />A poem is real when it seems.<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-poem-does-not-know-itself/
