ABOUT THE POET
No person who thinks like a poet should be ignored. All of the
great poets were at a time in their lives beginners and amateurs. Although some may never
qualify or ever in a sense be called a poet, the written thoughts and expressions of all
serious thinkers should be considered. In practicallity, every poet can not be read.
Thousands of great poems will never be viewed by most of us. Neither will every beautiful
shell on the beach be seen and admired for their natural beauty. And yet, these beauties
exist!
Many of us may be capable of writting beautiful and profound poetry
or verse. For the poet, the first step is in a written expression which comes from the
inner-self. That initial step holds a special pleasure for the poet. The appreciation of
one's ability. The self satisfaction of recognizing one's own talent to create. When the
creation becomes a thing of beauty, the accomplishment itself, is a reward to the poet. A
reward not to be underestimated. If the poet is lucky, others might get to read the work.
If no one ever gets to read the poet's writing, it is unfortunately their loss, not the
poet's.
Most of the poet's satisfaction should be derived from the pleasure
of the accomplishment and quality of the poem created. By not reading poetry on occassion
one may be missing an opportunity to enjoy the beauty and thoughts of another person. The
poet should forget about ego, and seek self-satisfaction and appreciation, which is more
important.
