Nada Mas (Only The Poem) Poem by Smoky Hoss

Nada Mas (Only The Poem)

Rating: 5.0


Reader, your voice is the poem
you are the words; and
nothing more.
Reader, there is no poetry
unless you speak it.
Reader, there is no sound
you must find what it has to say.
Reader, seek the thought
rising from your soul.
Reader, look all about you, up and down
no one else has come this way.
Reader, there is no other poem
only you among the words of the word; and
nothing more.

Like it, we all have our way of reading the meaning of a poem, it's what makes poetry so good. A fantastic poem.

Apart from what the poet is trying to convey, each reader will put his own interpretation onto the poem - good one Smoky.
