we do not write about

A good look at motivation and inspiration...........stan

There is much to be heard within this bit of prose; things that will stir a poet’s soul. We know what we know, but perhaps our vision differs from others in that we are able to paint images in words.

Personally, I like a more direct approach to verse, i.e.

we write about
what we know

“visionaries”
in a frantic world
savor risk
mourn lost opportunities
advance unmatched
through passion;
a mere reflection
of a double-life

But, these are only my thoughts. I think the title could be a bit stronger and the message a bit more visual for impact. I am not certain the repeated lines are strong enough to carry the verse and would consider revising them.

There is an excellent message in this prose but it needs more fire to really make those last lines hit home.

Thank you for the opportunity to absorb your words. ~Pamela

Interesting commentary inspired by your prose, Faithmariee, it's a good thing when a poem accomplishes that.

"A poet's work . . . to name the unnamable, to point at frauds, to take sides, start arguments, shape the world and stop it from going to sleep." ~ Salman Rushdie
