[bodytext] => A poet’s heart is breaking, silent, alone he cries Not because of what you think, there is nothing in a prize He stands alone upon the land with windswept biting sand Tearing at his skin and heart with no one to lend a hand. He looks around about him for one to say, “You’ll be right” But he feels the bitter loneliness of a poet that’s a-blight He falls in awful sorrow from this there is no plus As he begs to hear the words, “You are one of us.“ Will he come back will he rise above the pain? Yes he will-but his mentors have made it very plain That he is not of them-not one amongst them stood And said “Come on mate, be one with us, we think your poetry is good.” He knows the easy way to be a poet of renown To meekly walk where others have-to dig the dug up ground But that is not his flavour he is a leader not a pupil He cannot write what others have; he cannot be without a scruple. Clancy you must wheel them, you must wheel them to the right Those words echo soundly through the depths of every night He now knows that poems must follow an un-endless beaten track He will alone and unassisted from this slap come fighting back! He writes, oh how he writes with tears splashed across his page As he asks himself, "Was it them or me that caused this painful rage?" As poets do he looks within and sees a reason for more fear For he sees the vision of himself, in front of them next year. And will he blow a trumpet to their old and weary tune? Or will he keep on telling of his beloved desert moon? He knows they don’t want to hear for they are worlds apart As he vows never to write from his head, but from his poet’s heart.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
