The Poets Tree

The Poets Tree

A Poem by Poetryman
"

A respectful musing on some great poets of the past

"
sometimes I sit beneath The Poets Tree
where legends linger, not yet me
their passage earned with words so pure
their names etched in, their place assured

Byron, Tennyson, Burns and Poe
I feel their words course through my soul
they bring me comfort when I am alone
lost in my mind ~ where poems grow

breathing deep their scent floods in
my senses ache from deep within
of powerful imagery, rhythm and rhyme
lost in their words from another time

if I dare to look up, perhaps I will see
a new green shoot, that may one day be me
