Precious Poetry - From PROBLEM to POEM in 7 steps by Ronaldo Siète - HTML preview

1.7 - From Problem to Poem

Like a student who teaches,

An illiterate poet,

I'm a sinner who preaches.

Tell me, why would I know it?

This is just a collection

Of examples and training.

No attempt to perfection;

Playing games, entertaining.

Yes, the problem is clear:

What does «poem» imply?

It is dear, fear and near,

An I-dentify-try,

An emotion, a thought,

Caught in letters and lines,

Living in a blind spot

Between ambush and mines.

If «a poem» = «me»,

There's no lesson in here.

But it's «you» you should see

And that's much to endear.
