A poem about genius

Searching

Searching

For a proper subject

A tolerant and

A forgiving nature

A collision

For this fire

This fire in the flint

Admired

And suspect

By turns

Mysterious

A talent

Unseen

Unknown

Untouched

Except for

A minority

Adored

And criticized

By the swing of

The pendulum

Nurtured

Everything

Relative emerges

Valued

Achievement

Is not always

Valid for has

The debate

Become political

And not so much

Psychometric

Those who measure

Will always find

The quotient of

Intelligence

Contested

Territory

Searching

Searching

I am a

Renaissance

Woman

A quantum

Leaper

A composer

An artist

A writer of

Wonders

And the source

Of spontaneity

Of refinement

Of breathtaking

Torture needing

Freedom for the

Fire in the flint

Author's Note

Understanding genius

[Coyote Poetry]

Beautiful use of words and thoughts. I had to read again. I like the reason and the purpose for the poem. Women must be many things today. To be strong in this world. We must be many things and people. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
