What poets are made of
A poem on what it takes to be a poet

The poets need the pain
and be left standing in the rain
in order to express in a rhyme
feelings that in their heart chime.
The poets need to sink
in what their hearts think,
just so that one rainy day
you have something to read.
We endure souls being thorn
and ensure you’re not bored
oblivious of our internal storm.
That is how poems take form.
And she hopes one sunny day
she will believe it herself
and that one day you read
what I wrote with my red ink.
