A POEM DOES NOT KNOW ITSELF
A POEM DOES NOT KNOW ITSELF
A poem does not know itself
It is written from a mind not its own
It says what it does
And is what it is
Without being able to ask itself
Why it should live.
A poem is more than all it means
A poem is real when it seems.
I can't entirely disagree, but at the same time I swear sometimes my poems know more of themselves than I ever could. You set my mind into a tail spin with this - which is, really, not exactly a bad thing. Christine
