Poets Compelled Must Write Poem by Terence George Craddock

some poets will be social
will have appreciative followings...
other poets like to be isolated
wise will write without
interaction from readers...
poets write for themselves,
an audience or no one,
for today or for a future generation...

most prolific poets write
because they must...
compulsion they have no choice;
many people who during their lives
write a poem or a few poems
write compelled because they must...
