Analysis of One Well



There are Poets
 for the stage

And Poets
 for the page

The difference
  often subtle

In your eye,
  and in your ear

There are Poets
 for the stage

And Poets
 for the page

One well for them
  to draw from

Two voices,
—flowing clear

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2017)
