The poet speaks of what he or she see, feels, hears, experiences. sometimes the words are mystifying and other times clear.

Sometimes a poet writes in line and stanza and sometimes in prose, but a poet is always writing on the manuscript of his or her soul. Word that shine in the night on the manuscript of a poet's soul. Words in red the color of blood. Words in blue the color of the soul. Words drawn as pictures on the pages of the soul of the poet. The spirit and soul experience the words and ascends. |
