A Poetry Seminar

Sonnet 6  A Poetry Seminar

By Sophy Chen

In China, a famous poet told me

A poet should not write things that had happened

As a story teller, and something you want

To say but you can not say directly that  

That is why no poet tell me that the truth

In China common people do not read poems

So now days the poets have to gift their books

One by one in the poetry seminar by chance

A poetry seminar if I did not attend

I will never know this is the reality

Poem readers dead but our poets do not dead

As the way I write here the poets will say  

You don’t write a poem, but only a story

While the poets may be forget people love story
