Turning the camera on himself. Poetry from the pen of ~The Poet’s Poet~

Featured ~ Chris Black ~The Poet's Poet~

In some shape or form the ideas for his poems

Come from the ups and downs of life in all it various forms

Drinking in the beauty of nature

Losing himself in a vast library of books

Being a news junkie has its benefits

Leaving his ink splash on a page, satisfies

What is the point in poetry he asks himself frequently?

Self-gratification, getting something off his chest?

Some poems can confuse and irritate

Still they must be completed

We can learn a lot from poems?

Once he has lost all interest in the poem he’s writing

Then it is finished.
