The Silenced Poet
THE silenced Poet ~resolution
Sedating one another with dulcet diatone
Exchange creativity for form
Will this satisfy? ?
Nodding in hushed appraisal
Feigned welcome for the
Bush poet
Stifled thought masquerading
in a measured guise
The seams do split there and
Here comes another everything in order
Ideas fettered to remain within these walls
Who will read?
Who shall Hear?
Within these walls you
AUDIENCE your personal
mute audience
I walk on by
Satisfied even boasting to
myself this Victory of Will
Of Timbre No pandamoaning
today Focus is bright
Illuminated by knowledge,
Experience, confidence

A SILENCING of Poets
. by
the The Poem Doctor
I heal rhyme from Honest folk
soothe and balance Restore
A Poem no worse than mine
I render into versions which satisfy My personal sense of Worth
Inspired by a silencing of poets a loose society of Possibilties who stifle each other,'s SenSibility
My poems are unlike those of other,'s I said to him I said He asked me who I had read
Tennyson when rendered into Chinese takes on different hues, Takes on different Hues
About this poem
Internal resolution of being ordered offstage by That Poetry Thing during open mic night at Smith's Alternative.
