Gift of Poetry
Jose Mireles 1974 (Texas)
New gift,
as a poet sets out to,
share it with all.
Masterpieces,
written atop shy paper,
afraid of what they might be called.
Ghostly writer,
disappears against the scenes.
Looking at the people,
and what they think.
Brought back to life,
determined,
to face it all.
Share the gift,
of poetry,
with us all.
