The Poet

A Poem by Crystal

from JoeUser Forums
The Poet
To understand the stars,
Is like trying to understand men.

To understand a broken television,
Is like trying to understand my unborn.

To understand a poet,
Is like trying to understand a musician.

I am trying to understand myself,
But unable to do so.

I look deep,
But pull up memories of who I use to be.

I search high and low,
But Find Emptiness.

I look inside my poems,
That is where I find the voice.

That is helping me to understand the musician,
Who once was the poet.

MM~this is good work here! I am a poet too. I like a lot of your imagery, and the strong voice you have. Keep writing! (Especially your wonderful poems.)

P.S. I just posted a poem~it's about one of our "regular" JoeUser bloggers here. Sir Peter Maxwell. He's our resident eccentric (some love him big time, others love to hate him, etc.). I simply admire his brilliance as a writer, and understand that nearly everything he writes is satire. So it's not a literal kind of truth. If you wanna take a peek~it's in the Entertainment blogging section (The Great Sir Peter Maxwell Tribute Showcase!). Anyway, looking forward to reading more of your excellent poems. Keep on blogging!
