PaperA Poem by William Fields IssacPaper It seems the poet's curse, To tell their soul in ryhme and verse, At times paper seems their only friend, And yet their enemy in the end. Like a mocking parrot it repeats, The poet's vain dispairs and defeats. Yet at times the poet is by paper blessed, This truth i have oft confessed, For if one writes of joy and love, The paper tranforms into a dove. Good tideings borne on its gentle wings, Jubilee in the soft song it sings. Is paper a friend or foe? The answer of this question I do not know, Paper is what a poet makes it, What they choose can help the heart or break it. © 2009 William Fields Issac |
