Never Trust a Poet

Hello Poetry Lovers

Such true words indeed!

So, the last post featured the excellent How to Cook a Poem by James Domestic. This post continues the profound theme of poets and their craft.

Clever and talented Sharron Green has written an excellent piece from her collection Willing Words . And every word is true! Never ever trust a poet! Read on….

Many a True Word

Never trust a poet,

they are wearing a disguise,

you might think they are listening

but they are plotting lies.

Like magpies they are spying gems

that others haven’t spotted,

just watch and they will swipe them

and soon they’ll be re-potted.

You’ll think—where did that come from?

It sounds so fresh and new!

But someone else inspired it,

it could even be you!

So never trust a poet

they are at least two-faced,

though their work is eco friendly

as no word goes to waste.
