The Poet

The Poet

A Poem by Brittany L. Engels
"

In Honor of my fellow poets...

"
The many states of human hearts, are so hard to explain.
From the burning bright of passion, to the darkness of our pain.

Yet try again the poet will, to pen the trials of,
A human heart in sorrow low, or out in search of love.

So the work is never done, the toil incomplete,
For the unremitting poet, who has taken on this feat.

Writing day, and writing night, continuing the quest,
To find the words that capture, what only hearts express.

Well done Brittany, you've identified the heart of a poet in clean and precise way.

Good work, touches on something my highschool English teacher once told me: "Teaching english and creative expression is like teaching kids how to experience their lives". The point is, there is no quality that makes someone a "poet" or an "author", everybody writes. Poets can come from every walk of life but it requires that keen eye and understanding of how to translate the inner sensation into outer communication,

a job well done!
