Over the past few days, I have had recurring thoughts that poets are orators. Words of wisdom are imparted with an apathetic and discouraged populace. All throughout history, poets have had an influence on the course of a nation.
Poets are thought of as fools, wandering dreams with nothing better to do. To me poets keep the world sane from all the scoundrels. Orators have been tolerated because to some they are amusing. Do the people who dismiss them ever thought that maybe they HAVE a message.
I began writing poetry a couple of yeas ago. Aware of the power of words, I see how much influence a poet can have. When I read my work to an audience, I prayed that some thing positive would have an affect on their lives. As I continue improving my craft, the need to share with others grows.
