When he is alone,
He writes of love.
When in love,
He writes of beauty.
When in fear,
He writes of darkness.
When angered,
He writes of death.
The poet is a shy man,
The poet is a quiet man,
The poet is a modest man,
The poet could be your friend,
And you'd never know it.
The life of a poet is a peaceful one.
If the freedom of verse is removed,
nd the poetic license revoked,
The life of a poet would be a short one.
