Poetry is not <br />what some suppose in error <br />to be emotions. <br /> <br />Emotions flowing <br />is grease for human actions <br />and life's search engine. <br /> <br />Excess emotions <br />result in overflow then, <br />not poetry though. <br /> <br />The poet's soul is <br />a special gift from Heaven, <br />few strings attached though. <br /> <br />Poets are good souls, <br />their work be great or simple, <br />Judged by the people.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-is-poetry-14/
