to some a poet is a wordsmith
labouring in the forge of life
hammering out constructs
of shimmering beauty from
passion heated memories
upon the anvil of experience,
with the hammer of forgetfulness.
its is an heroic image,
if somewhat overwrought. . .
to be a poet is rather more,
dare we say, prosaic.
the poet is a day laborer,
a world weary worker wrestling
reluctant and truculent words
into rude approximations of the
visions
that trouble the poet's mind. . . . .
