Poet

by jason   Apr 27, 2007


Some poems are funny
some poems are mad
some poems are crazy
but still make you glad

the key to poetry
not what in you see
the key to poetry is
when you let your mind be free

unlock a world
unseen before
take a tour
run around and explore

see the sites the create gore
see the bodies laid out on the floor
see the sea in the sky
see the birds as they fly
see a land never found before
see the sand on the shore

a poets eyes see no bounds
a poets eye is not held just to the ground
a poet can see into the past
a poet can predict what happens last
then take it back an turn it into a blast

a poet doesnt always know
what will happen next
in their writtings they just reflect
the images in their mind
which do not cease with time
feelings they can not seem to unwind

a poet knows true art
weather falling from a cart
or starting some sparks in the dark
to open a light
a poet can show things like a fight
make it seem wrong or right

a poets mind is the source of all their sight
in this we take much delight.

    I liked this alot and the message you are trying to put across is very nice!. A poem about a poet writing poetry! It's so simple but genius!

    Some things did throw me off course though and I think that these can all be resolved by reading the poem to yourself once and then reading it out loud.

    It's just the odd word at the end of the sentence but if you do that properly I'm sure that perfection will be achieved.

    Well Done

    I thought it was simple but good. the flow was great. I am not sure what else to say except it is a change of pace from most of the poems I read. Keep up the good work

    It was very simple, but very good. I don't know what threw me off, but something did, and it made it hard for me to follow. It was a very nice description of poets though. Good job.
