Poets Pen

A poet’s mind is never done
In sarcasm or just in fun
Writing history or casting love
It rides a dragon or a dove

It takes you to the very edge
With sympathy or just a pledge
It fills you full of awe and fears
Or echoes you with whispered dears

It wheels you into dark extremes
Or zeal’s you into lover’s dreams
It sails you into sunders far
Or makes you wonder who you are.

It is an art that fills the mind
With structured or unstructured find
That sings a song of come along
And seldom minds the right or wrong

A poet is an alchemist
An enzyme of a magic mist

One thing for sure is, I am always wondering, who am I? You, my friend, are among the very best poets.

Oh my ... heavenly phrasing throughout, Sy. Really beautiful. You've captured that whole rainbow of a poet's world here. Just lovely!

Best wishes and hugs,
