This poem is a poet’s poem, that is, a poem written — or unridden — about the process of writing poetry. \u00a0The theme of this poem touches up on both the ethereal ineffability for which poets reach and the palpability of any poem incarnated into this world through paper and\/or voice. \u00a0This poem contrasts the more coarse ways of the world — Having words\/Chasing paper — with the more nuanced and generally underappreciated ways of poets. \u00a0The poet is more like a good reed than some big oak — swaying to gentle breezes and still standing right after hurricane force winds and reign. \u00a0May you find poetry flowering in your life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
