The Poet In Me

A puzzled voice from
The poet in me
Asks by what right
I inscribe these words?
From where does
The inspiration pour?
And for whom are thse
Words intended toward?
Unable to answer
These minor quandries,
I ponder if I might just
Halt at this fault
Or write on,
Should I falter
On my halt.

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
