Why Be Poet? Poem by Sandra Feldman

Why Be Poet?

Rating: 5.0


Dear Fellow Poets.
Sisters and Brothers
Of this noble task,
This expression
Of humanity
And love for others
That is not paid for
Nor has even been
By many asked,
This loving task
Which is,
To put feelings
Into words as
An almost celestial
Flight, that Unites
Without, even being
Asked,
And that in all
Sincerity, wants
A better world
Where, we All
Can have true love
And equal chance
As we forever, bury
Of war and hate,
The destructive and
Hideous, Lance.

A beautiful ink for all poets to read and think. Poets spread love and care in the society irrespective of cultures, religions and faiths and nationalities. Nice poem.5 Stars.

Part 1. Poets, per say, are emotional beings. Me including. The most prominent of emotions, love (I will say, Universal Love) is their Religion. They promote love and despise hatred, through their poems.

Part 2. It (this philosophy of Univeral Love) is not purposefully incorporated by them in their write, but it comes naturally. Great poem. Top score, Sandra.

Poets attempt to use words to describe silence, and for me this is one of the most beautiful things to do and I am proud.

'The poet's dilemma is to turn beauty That eyes beholds into fine lines And turn rich fragrance the nose smells Into nice tuned words' quoted from the first verse of my poem; the poet's dilemma.
