Poetry - Edmund Vance Cooke

To deftly do what many dimly think;

To fund a feeling for the world to borrow;

To turn a tear to printer's ink;

To make a sonnet of a sorrow.

- I love poems about poetry - poets writing about what it means to write. For me personally, when I write its because I don't know how not to write - a word, a picture, a feeling comes to me and I pick up pen and paper in the same way I breathe in and out. You are a special soul if you can make your words and experiences a source of inspiration to another and if you make the choice to 'turn a tear to printer's ink'.
