A Poet? Poem by David Taylor

A Poet?

Rating: 5.0


A
Poem
Does indeed
Grow from a seed
As small as a single vowel
And blossom into a whole world
Of meanings in the fertile mind of its reader.
The writer on the other hand just observes
As the words arise and are written
By a hand that this pen moves
And is simply watched
By he who is
Called a
Poet.

A wealth of truth in theses words David a single word or phrase can set the poets alight.But the reader interpretrs the words through the filter of his/her own experience and see things the writer had never intended.I find ffeedback fascinating it often opens my eyes in ways I had never expected

I loved the form and style of this poem David. Simply an excellent one. As beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder; a good poem nestled in the mind of the readers.Either ways, it both reflects the essence of living that express emotions.. Highest marks David.

David, I loved this poem, it's short and sweet, yet to the point of understand real fast. I loved the way you formed your words, to create that shape or effect. Great job! I made you a friend so I can read and keep up with your work. Always, Linda

How appropriate that this is written by a very talented 'Poet.' This is so good, and honest and true.......only the best from you as always....[i seem to be missing some of yours, not what i like to happen, has to be time difference...also, what happened to your list of readers below here? Why did the usual readers disappear and new ones are now on after all these months....may be the second time I've seen it happen at your site...have seen it on a few others at times....what did you do or is it PH? ] ~~~marci.xoox. :) ~~~
