NaPoWriMo Day 25 A Poet’s Job

The job of The Poet
Is to take the tarnished,
Copper kettle
From the upper shelf,
Add tepid water and
Apply his passionate heat,
Cause temperatures to rise
Create conversions of one
Substance to another
Where the ordinary becomes
The
Extraordinary
Though the days have passed with little said here, much writing has been accomplished amid the myriad of state testing for my dear (after today I use that term loosely) fifth graders. I am still here with a beating heart, still meandering and visiting other NaPoWriMo participants.

Poetry is only an assembly of words, strung together. It is the Poet that adds the feeling. It is the Poet that adds the mood.
The words alone cannot be the conduit…here you have captured this; the Poet has a job.
