A Classic Poet’s Soul In Modern Times Poem by L.P. Alexanders

I like this, particularly the chisel metaphor. For me, it implies the hard work of crafting. Composing at the keyboard makes it too easy (for me, at times) to publish here quickly rather than allow the poem to come to maturity.

Because the pencil is to the poet as The chisel is to the sculptor; ....beuatiful mind withinnovative ideas.. good write. but i write direct from mind to pc......beautiful imaginationwith message......10

Art, in any shape or form, is really a wonderful gift! Especially when it comes to poetry, as it can, give, a much needed, lift! ...10

Perfect artist in the making.Writing is a beautiful Art of the mind and soul.

wonderful simile: ''Because the pencil is to the poet as The chisel is to the sculptor; '' very true...well written poem..10+++

the pencil is to the poet as The chisel is to the sculptor... fantastic simile....and correctly said about a real poet that his art is in his hands and mind...I salute...thanks a lot for sharing

a few words to define a poet...if only he has a creative and artistic ability..intelligence, that is the first..everything follows..grace

that's is so true! ! I love the flow and the use of words, amazingly penned! ! !

Your spirit, roaming free. despises the vessel of the screen, and poetry, the quintessential Art, stays from it not far apart- That's for every byte to see. Way to go, Alex! JCS

I perfure a pen a paper my self because they can be taken any were you go. I like it! !
