Dear Poets Poem by Matthew Holloway

Oh how do we write
Dear poets
Our craft and guile
Our madness and beauty
What lines we pen
The ink we bleed on pages
Of verse and story

What style we choose
If any we decide upon
Each stanza or sonnet
Free flowing or well formed
Oh how do we write
Dear poets

Is it of nature or love
Is it of loss or humanity
Perhaps a blend of all
Is what we find being written
Dear poets
Do you know of this

Do we craft of feel
Each line as it comes
Are we the masters of it
It is it the master of us
Dear poets
What is the answer to it

Oh how do we write
Dear poets
Or why do we write
A choosing of verse
Is it life blessing
Or life's curse
