Poets

Poets not only live life. Poets breath life, the ugly and beauty of life we recite. The long glowing beauty of the day, and the sparkling lights. Sprinkled upon the dark canvas of the night. We are part of the flame.  We are the spark of the fire, the dried twigs that ignite. We are the birds of air, the path and the flight. The pain and the joy of the world, the struggle the fight. We are the expression of right  and wrong, the voice of the weak, the voice of the strong.  We are the joy, and the pain and the tears of the song. We are the smoke in the air, the hit from the bong.  We are the motion of life, we are the keep, in keep moving on.  We are the sound of the thunder, the wetness of rain. The pickers of the harvest, the jingle of chains. We are the smoke of glass, the cloth and the stain   We are love pain, passivity and aggression. And our whole lives we live a life of expression. If now you know what a poet is, you have learned a poetical lesson.

Author's Note
I wrote this piece, express my views of what and what a poet is. It's not using intricate words. Or about sounding like the winner of the state spelling bee. It's not about appealing to a audience. It's not about being the better writer. It's not about competition. It's simple expression about life intricate, and sometimes complex matters. It's about feelings emotions, it's about life. I write from my heat, I don't think much about form or style, or worry if it's liked or not like. These type of worries don't add to poetry, but take away. Write with freedom of the heart. Heart speech just flows, it feels no pressure from audiences. It just feels and express feelings, life events. That we experienced. Emotions we can relate to. Things we can identify with.
All writing remains the property of the author. Don't use it for any purpose without their permission.
