Strange profession
That of poet,
Perhaps more like
Delirium,
Does control it,
Shuffling words
Moving ideas
Chasing beauty,
With sweet words
Knitting dreams
With loving themes
Looking into Souls,
Wanting to know,
Wanting to know
All there is,
About Feelings,
From the normal
To the extreme,
That can inspire
Love and healing.
Always alert,
And ready to fight
Injustice and the unwise
That want to control
At any price,
Never giving up!
Probably getting,
Nowhere with
This "major vice",
Of verse that insights,
Illuminates
Making us think,
Loving every moment
Of this adventure
That, of Being poet,
Poor Poet...
Illusion streamer
Poor dreamer,
Silly Poet!

A great poem, Sandra. I love your description of the many hats a poet wears, the many moods that motivate us, urge us to write. The major vice of silly poets - May we never be cured of it.
Poet, a merchant of dreams and silly little things wanting to rise like cream... all that a poet and his poetry is!
An encompassing write on Poetry and Poet. It captures the many wonderful attributes of a Poet. Amazingly conveyed and crafted.
