The Poet's Dilemma Poem by Okim Otu
The Poet's Dilemma
The poet's dilemma is to turn beauty
That eyes beholds into fine lines
And turn rich fragrance the nose smells
Into nice tuned words.
The poet's dilemma is not only for readers to understand the poem,
But their willingness to go with the flow
To the mountain if the poet goes to the mountain
Or the valley if he goes to the valley.
The poet's dilemma is not to have a lucid idea
Or an abundance of words,
But the oil of rhyme to keep the verse's light
Shinning throughout every line.
The best poems are still unwritten,
Not because the best poets are still unborn
But because the poet's dilemma
Is using words describes Silence.
You mad a bad case for the poet`s dilemma or job. If poems are not to be understood, all poetry would have the same value. A Shakespeare would be the same than a mediocre poet, and any nonsense would pass for poetry
