POET'S SILENCE

POET'S SILENCE

Whenever a poet maintains calm and serenity,
he's deeply, creatively connecting a higher realm,
so, do not cause interruption to rip off his course,
'cause his connectivity is gained through his mind.

Any moment of disruption against his creation,
he would be disgruntled and lose his motion and,
his idea of connection might be disabled and lost!
'cause a writer is a seeker of solemn moment.

His prime time is harvested only in a quiet time,
his transmission of thoughts to nature usually or,
has a big influence on the subject he's processing.
he's the man of the moment who rides on the air!

So, if you're a friend to a poet who usually writes,
glance on him, and observe with a keen interest,
he's prone to speak silently himself without words,
as a deep thinker; he takes a free flight of thought!

His thought is always his high way of expression,
ripping words and putting on the table of his heart.
when a poet creates an imagery and metaphors,
his intention is to make your mind find pictures...

Words of wisdom are embedded in literary tools,
maybe, if you're not literary or poetically inclined,
yo' might lose the interest of what he really meant.
in all, always see poets, the herald of good tidings.

Hi, Jackweb!
You have wonderfully captured the process of a poet. Much to love here: a writer is a seeker of solemn moments, a deep thinker who takes a free flight of thought, putting words on the table of his heart, and my favorite - the herald of good things, which I believe is true, because poetry never lies. I think I would use the full word "because" in place of "'cause", and the I think the first sentence of the third stanza has a typo: should be "quiet" time, correct? This feels full of the heart and soul of a poet.
Thank you,
L

I feel elated whenever you took off your time to read and commenting constructively. Much appreciated esteemed poet for the the eagle eye on the stanza.
