Why is it heartbreak
gives birth to the poet
when simply before
there was none
Is it perhaps
that the mettle now hammered
a new forge is needed
to cast a new one.
I think heartbreak makes us turn inward and ask the questions that before we couldn't ask. In the process, we find alot of material comes when the heart and soul are cracked open wide. We find out who we really are. Great little poem with some powerful words. Linda

Too true, Charles. I think we poets are each born into fire tempered with just a touch of madness.
