A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

sort of a poet


I am a writer of sorts
out of sorts,
sorting out my feelings
sort of confusedly

Your word choice "sort " makes this poem quite a insightful read. A confused unique poet trying to write what he/she feels inside through the way they know how to do it best; through poetry. At least that is how I interpreted this poem. Love the word choice!

You are welcome!
While humility can be deceptive, I sort of like this sort of self critique.

That's sort of nice.
In sorting through your feelings, you clear away the confusion and clutter in ours, with your words.

Short like a shot of a drink
No don’t drink 🚱 now
But if I did I’d try a short shot reading poetry maybe yours !
Hope you well J

Sometimes short truly is sweet. Getting older I find less is more. Simplicity. Nice work.

dearest Jacob... early Easter morning in Virginia.
Another day to sort our thoughts and "Roll away the Stone"
as depicted in Gee's Poem for Easter. Somehow the Title and the feelings have embraced my Heart where as Shakespeare would say:
"Although you have none, obtain a Virtue." Shall I stumble through the Day, or Pray for our World. Your Poetry is always Provocative, and we are "beholding". May flowers scent your Day and Bird Song stir your Heart. gently, Pat

thanks for your words, Pat,

I imagine you smiling writing this brevity. Can't imagine a sad face. I think all writers have visited that place and understand those thoughts.

My grandad would get out a bag of all sorts, the liquorice kind. That made me feel better and blacked my teeth too :)

That’s my epitaph! Sometimes it’s just for the love of writing too.
