The Life of a Poet

Oh! The life a poet leads
Lost inside walls of words 
Spewing from his mind 
He can write verses that dazzle 
Turn a rainy night into a sunny morning 
He can make you look through the kaleidoscope of his eyes 
At the different colors that make up his mind 
With ink as his water and paper as his food
Our poet has vowed to supply us with nourishing 
He is the proudest of parents though his children aren't human
But what appeals to one may cause another to turn away in disgust
So who is our poet to listen to?
His heart which is full of passion?
Or his brain which advises caution?

The Bilge Master
