A Poet’s Ally


A poet’s ally
is the quill or pen
the ink
to think
to paper
to write
recite
perform
excite
the pages and the ears
of those
that hear
the echo
of poetry
that see the imagery
the Poets’ way
the way they
speak
our truths
seduce
our senses
sing the stories
metamorphose history
reveal
secrets and nightmares
most of us hide
and all of us dream
