Poets' Minds Poem by PAUL COLVIN

Poets' Minds



A poet is like the artist
With a blank canvas
He or she can be anyone
Or anything.
Old or young, a child perhaps,
A lover, warrior, hero
No boundaries set
No restrictions exist
Be who you never were
See what I don’t
Do not as I say
But do as you see
You are the artist
Your brush is a pen
Write from your mind
You, you are the poet
And just for one verse
I set you free.

Hey! Isn't this similar to your lovely verse the other day? Ah, lovely, my friend, I'm so glad you put it all together.

Yes, this is the life of a poet. An artist with a pen and not paintbrushes, copying a scene. A poet writes from his own experiences. Magnificent!
