A Child! A Poet Seer! Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

A Child! A Poet Seer!



A child! A Poet Seer!
One person I
See
Ah! two in one
The child in me!

And
In that child
There's thought,
Emotion, pride!

A child! A Poet Seer!
One person I
See
Ah! two in one
The child in me!

This is almost a parallel poem to one of mine called DAZZLING CHILDREN. In myth future heroes and wizards give early displays of the greatness within. I cite baby Heracles killing predatory snakes, baby Maui of ancient Hawaii gorging on food, the child Jesus in the Temple teaching the Elders. You can suggest the child's future greatness by using just one word from your repertory - Poet Seer! !
