A poem is not a reflection
Of the poet or his thinking
The poet, while, is a shadow
Of the poem that he’s drinking
He is merely a medium
Between the poem and the page
To flung the doors wide open
Of the concealed cage
A poem is not a reflection
Of the poet or his thinking
The poet, while, is a shadow
Of the poem that he’s drinking
He is merely a medium
Between the poem and the page
To flung the doors wide open
Of the concealed cage
Wwwwooooowwwww…. Love this one!!!
Sorry to bring a twist it religion or spirituality, for me a poet or an artist is like a prophet. The message come through them, but it is a message from higher sources of love and compassion, translated into words or expression through the poet or artist.

“Of the poem that he’s drinking” – the weirdest sentence I ever came across so far to rhyme another… ๐ ๐ ๐
Good poetry, though.

Oh yeah? Well, prove it. Every other day flipflop your poems’ moods; happy, sad, seething, joyful, distant, engaged.

Yes, open wide the doors.
The poem is gasping for air!
Crack open the windows.
Catch no poets there.
