Birth Of A Poet Poem by Charles M Moore

Birth Of A Poet

Rating: 5.0


Why is it heartbreak
gives birth to the poet
when simply before
there was none

Is it perhaps
that the mettle now hammered
a new forge is needed
to cast a new one.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Too true, Charles. I think we poets are each born into fire tempered with just a touch of madness.

I think heartbreak makes us turn inward and ask the questions that before we couldn't ask. In the process, we find alot of material comes when the heart and soul are cracked open wide. We find out who we really are. Great little poem with some powerful words. Linda
