Poets Writing Universal Topic Themes With Epic Insight Poem by Terence George Craddock

to read or not to read that is the question
reading is not writing a poet must write
to write or not to write that is the question
without reading writing is poetry lacking...

a paradox obvious read write a poetic ratio
a poet must read extensively to write well
a poet must read widely selectively to write well
a poet must understand what is read to write well...

a poet must write often to write well
a poet must write with feeling to write well
a poet must write with emotion to write well...

a poet must write with rhythm to write well
a poet must write with pathos to write well
a poet must write with creative style to write well...

a poet must write what poet knows to write well
a poet must write with depth understanding to write well
somewhere at some time a poet must read to write well
a poet must write often in time extensively to write well...

but then you already knew this
a poet who does not write is not a poet
this is a once was poet now is not poet...

a once upon a time poet a dead poet
if exceptional leaves poetic echoes
catchy hook emotive awakenings...

universal appeal ever current
evokes captures themes ever topic
rare wisdom word epic insight...
