Classic poets have much in common, <br />except they're often dead. <br />Like the amazing lyrical, spontaneous ways, <br />thoughts dance around their heads. <br />Questions of race, religion, culture, <br />no subject is taboo. <br />And all these thoughts exposed, laid bare, <br />to the likes of me and you. <br />To gaze on clouds or wonder why, <br />to scribble wild ideas. <br />For lay-people from all around, <br />to read for many years. <br />And so we sit and read their, rhymes <br />their words and meter true. <br />And hope that one day, classic status, <br />may apply to me or you. <br /> <br />Heath Gunn<br /><br />Heath Gunn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/classic-poets/
