A Poet

by Tom Swart   Jun 16, 2005


I am a poet.
I feel what I write.
I write what I feel.
I put into words that which I see.
But I find no words to express
the world and all the pain it breeds

    That there is the lofty aim of each poet and yet each poem captures or reflects life, the world, and its pains in part only. Thanks for sharing.

    Hey. I've come back to this poem so many times. I'm not sure what it is, the way you said it, and set it up so simple and yet the topic itself is so... Difficult...The beginning starts a rhythm that soon changes, and it seems it changes with the mood of the lines. It's like you've put some of your own character in there, without Really putting character, but thoughts instead... Hmm, sorry, now I'm just thinking outloud. There isn't alot I can say, I just find myself comin' back to this poem, so I thought this time I'd let you know. It's...Excellent.
