Like So Many Poems I Read Poem by Shalom Freedman

Like So Many Poems I Read



LIKE SO MANY POEMS I READ

Like so many poems I read
These poems I am reading now
Are not poems to me.

They are too detached
Too abstract
Too up in the air.

I want to hear the words
Make a music of feeling
In my soul.


A poem must move me
If it is to be real.

Why then do I write these words
as if a poem?
