ARE YOU THE POET?
ON OWNERSHIP

 

 

You ask me whether my poems are mine.  
Shouldn't they be?
Have I not the talent 
To compress sublime thoughts
Into rhyme? 
The truth is that as I grow older, 
I find human conversation stilted.

Poetry allows me to think aloud,
Explore ideas, excavate thoughts,
Converse with myself in lilting verse
Without being overheard.
