Food for Poets
JESUS BETANCOURT 1955 (New York)
Like manna falling from the heavens
Glorious poetic sustenance will satisfying me
Especially if it happens
A muse provides nutritional inspiration generously
Food for thought manifests in a variety
It's up to the poet to taste
Then discern what is consumable poetry
A poem should not go to waste
About this poem
I swallow a poet baker's dozen daily.
