Ode To The Poet Poem by Walterrean Salley

Ode To The Poet

Rating: 4.8


Gifted child. Inspired one,
Whose soul dines in solitaire—
Endowed with inspiration
That he alone can share—
Of cherished thoughts
To warm the heart
And challenge the mind.

The poet's appeal to all
Is simply 'come and dine.'

(1998)

wonderful poem for poets.this should be the basis for every poet sorta like a beginners guide to successful writing because sometimes writers block hinders creativity but you finely clarified the poets vision in his poems and the bond the reader shares with the poem
