For when a poet writes

Time stops for a moment

And celebrates wordsmithing at it’s finest

Along with being the kindest

Artistic thing between two

For poetry

Is what a poet must do

And to write is what poetry needs

To further exist and persist

Clearly through and into

The poetic realm

Of poiesis that was made

Specifically for these two

As writing and constructing poetry

Is what a poet was born to do

For when a poet writes

Light becomes a bit brighter

As the poetic words and lines

Beckon to be taken much higher

O’er the page and waiting to

Capture the work of these said two

Resplendent is the word of such

Poetic beauty, yet humbleness in motion

For when a poet writes

Unbridled poetic splendor erupts

Catapulting the literary into poetic orbit

As the poetic words dance

And the poetical lines take a bow

To write and write and to not wonder how

To write poetry into existence

Both here and now

With much heart and poetic might

As poetry and the poet

Together are such a delight

For when

For when

A poet writes
