THE POET



THE POET







When the dawn goes 

down to the Day


 Ascends the Sun to rinse


The earth's tray

Having survived a night

Mortals set to pray

Flora revives, buds smile

To muse they sway

In a lonely, forgotten

Gaunt cottage far away

A poet lost on his desk

As wreaths on a grave

On paper, his words lay

While the world

Picks morsel,

He shoves

Hunger at bay

Weaving verse

Keeps him gay

Dawn to the day

Then dusk, be it may

A poet remains a poet

Whatever you say.
