The poet's plight

The poet's plight

Forever thinkingĀ 

Always reading

ContinuouslyĀ having a thought

A poet's brain can bring science to nought

Their blood pumps out versesĀ 

And in anger can produce rhyming curses

Masters of words and tenseĀ 

They skillfully create suspenseĀ 

In their own world, they choose to be

And believes in what one cannot see

They are the creators of emotionĀ 

And can spur things in motionĀ 

Their thoughts are worlds

Waiting to be discoveredĀ 

Their words are seeds

Waiting to be plantedĀ 

Strange and peculiarĀ to many

Misunderstood by so many moreĀ 

Their mastery to you may be a bore

But poets remain the balm to every sore
