    Poet and the Pen

    I have seen poets pen every thought

    and it makes no difference to me.

    If it is the heart that speaks,

    then truly, I am pleased as pleased is measured.

    If it is the mind itself that speaketh,

    this may be well stated,

    but the heart that pens its thought

    is worth a detailed thought of measure.

    It weight surely must be as gold,

    as a woman with thick passion so bold.

    The poet and the pen,

    cannot lie, nor therefore sin,

    against his own heart.

    A woman cannot lie to herself as well,

    as if she does, she becomes bitter and stale.

    Therefore let love and heart flow through this pen,

    the pen of a poet, something short of kin.

    Let my pen never become my own enemy,

    this I pray,

    I must keep myself, my thought, my deed,

    in the poetical way of May

    This poem has a lot of meaning behind it and I'm glad you posted it so I can read it because I'm new at writing my thoughts down because I have a memory like a elephant can remember it all but keep writing because I will keep reading

    This is a very high quality piece! The rhyme and the meter flow so easily and it reflects concerns I have often struggled with. Thank you for sharing!

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
