The Poet Poem by Paolo Giuseppe Mazzarello

The Poet

Rating: 5.0


In first, word was. Ocean, earth, sky were mankind's discover.
But in man's mind world lived another way
This was idea. Creation's and thought's wonders aren't yet over,
Though everything is not a wonder everyday.
On pentagram poet has every note, a sweet melody,
Poet can get angry and rebel thinking it's natural:
He'll be heard and, to the power, he'll hand somebody.
Poetry world is rich in meadows, trees, hearts: it's final.
Every feeling returns towards an old love,
However poet needs a new sweetheart and God above.

Until the laast line I was ready to rate the poem with 8+ Then the line 'However a poet needs a new sweetheart and God above' that convinced me to rate finally th poem with 10-. Yes, Paolo, a poet knows the legent 'vivere pericolosament' ma con amore e Dio. Thanks for sharing. Keep on with such penjoyable themes. Joseph (Juseppe) S.
