there lies in the heart of a poet
something that says a poet is important
even though those around or in the world
act as though the poet is saying nothing
there is something in a poets heart to do
that must be done it is important that
the poet must see it though if you're
a poet then this speaks to you
you have to write no matter what you do
you write because you have to is
how to answer those who ask you
the world may laugh at you as though
they do a clown the roar in you
will shut them down though
born or made a poet finds
it to be quite unsettling
staring at a blank page
everything is poetry
chimes a poet of age
the important poet
turns the page
