Question
I need to write a explication about this poem, can you help?
A poem comes straight from inside the heart
A poet with his own poem he will never part
A poet feels and can see what others cannot see
A poet can see beauty in bees and the fruitful pure tree
A poet looks on and can hear words in his brain
A poet can sometimes think he’s totally insane
A poet feels happiness and sometimes he feels pain
A poet is warm and feels so much love
A poet is granted the poetry of love from above
A poet is a poet and doesn’t he or she know it?
A poet should let himself or herself quickly show it!
Just write it on paper and let it flow.
