Try to do

Fools, poets
Or both?

Fools dream the impossible they cannot achieve while poets actualise the impossible through dreams. Beautiful...10.

It is like: 'If we do not try, we never know.' So, let us poets be fool that we may be enlightened! I like this poem!

2 – …but i think you are wrong. i bet non-fools sometimes tackle the impossible because they DO have a dream and/or because they do not know what IS possible. " Nothing ventured, nothing gained" i've heard before. and what used to be impossible is not always impossible now. ;) i say " NO" to both parts of the poem, but i kind of like it. bri :)

1 – i had to read this 2-3 times before i decided i did NOT NOT-like it. Google 'tells' me a fool is: : " a person who acts unwisely or imprudently; a silly person" i'll assume you mean the first definition.
