Realm of a poem A poem is born through
poets, not from them; Emotions nursed in
propriety, in the worlds Now lie in the hearse
of words; Totally cut without
possession…ugh…c’est complètement parti mes amis! C’est fini, alors c’est
fini, This mayhem!
Readers take over now,
Criticize; analyze,
love, slaughter left and right, The
poet drops the pride and the vow, Joins
as a reader in the ugly pretty fight!
Wrong is heavy and loose
Let’s delve in the
write so high and light, Whatever be the choice
we have nothing to lose, Threw up everything on
the page toute à l’heure in delight! Let’s love the poets,
who think otherwise, For they, like us are
also right, We transgress as
readers, wise, unwise, Without prosecuting visitors; For us – as part of
them, There aren’t any trespassers, In the realm of a poem!
