Poets and Their Planet

"...the profoundest emotions they excavate from within..."

Poets and Their Planet

The avid reader wanted to read,
Perhaps to read between the lines
She had various unrequited questions
Are they aliens? Where do they come from?
Where do they get their graceful language from?

As she read and read between the lines she concluded
That the profoundest emotions they excavate from within
On a given subject or area or their experiences and visions
Are their magic and engine that propel them to another planet
Whose words can move mountains, whose waters flow with flair
