(1)
Indispensable
Is insight for (a)poet, like
Vision for our eyes.
(2)
Indispensable
Is emotion for (a) poet
Like pulse for our heart.
(3)
Indispensable
Is wisdom for a poet
Like words for our throat.
(4)
Indispensable
Is knowledge for a poet
Like sound for our ear.
(5)
Indispensable
Is lenity for (a)poet
Like taste for tongue.
(6)
Indispensable
Is mercy for (a)poet, like
Motherhood for (a)mom.
(7)
Indispensable
Is dreaming for a poet
Like thinking for mind.
(8)
Indispensable
Is poetry for poet
Like breathing for life.
