The best poets wait for words. The hunt is not an exercise of will But patient love relaxing on a hill To note the movement of a timid wing; Until the one who knows that she is loved No longer waits but risks surrendering - Great poets think differently. tony

The poem presents the feministic approach of a poet rendering the thoughts of healthy mind. The trouble ache of the thinking is to nourish the poetic feeling into the depth of the poet.
