Poems on Writing - Blackout Poetry Notes

For Yourself

I suppose, to write
is for yourself alone.

I'm writing you
so that you'll understand,
don't you see?
The spaces between
each word,
are merely symbols
of my love.

The genuine thrill of
books and poems
roused her
deeper than
any love affair.

It was quite true,
some poets
have a blind craving
for a complete evolution
of heart and spirit.

Cincinnati
and rural Indiana,
I was free to become anyone
so I started
writing,
my imagination
busy emerging out.

A writer
is what I am,
There's no question
of that.

I have made some angry.
But I regret
nothing
that I write.

I am a poet
faithful to destiny.

I'll try to explain - you enchant
with your lovely prose...
and it gives me faith
in my own writing.

I am incurably clumsy
with no charm and wit, but I know
my absolute honesty
is pure poetry.
