Poetic prowess?
No! I call it affliction
Because for him to expatiate
He suffers it for you to relate
The poet suffers for his masterpiece
These lines hold his life in speech
He is not gifted, he is afflicted
Cleverly dosed and delivery perfected
So when it is DEEP it wounds him
When it is FUNNY it ridicules him
When it is REVEALING he is exposed
If it HURTS he suffers most
If it EDUCATES his knowledge shared
So when it is TOUCHY he is left abused
When it is COPIED his intellect used
When it is READ his mind learnt
If it is REPRODUCED his wisdom spent
If it is CRITIQUED his ego dent
So the pen dribbles on the page
To leave your mouth watering
So the tongue can caress cheeks
To leave minds and eyes sparking
Poetic affliction?It is well intended.
