Poet

Word

Phrase

Complexity gauged

Thought

Expression

Emotionally injected

Basically the method

I use to persuade

Or pass information

Myself on display

Opened wide-eyed

Nothing to hide

Paper canvas

Substitutes proof

Your mind confines

Treasured jewels

I dig with shovel

Backhoe or crane

My machinery

Tools of the trade

Thoughts expressed in word phrases

Substitutes proof for treasured jewels

I know it

But what does it mean

So I’m a poet

Digging for booty

Image machinery

Sound manipulation

Rhythms

Flows

Beauty grows

To pay the toll

To wax your soul

Wane control

And where it all stops

Only the poet knows
