i was meant

i was meant

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

i was meant

 

 

 

i live the essentials

keyboard, words

the entitlement of a poet

 

my entreaty to the muse

stand by me

so i may exist

 

existential's

outward bound words

from a keyboard of entitlement

 

i live, i write

thus i exist.

Most welcome, j.
Freds.
Nice poem, shows us how much it takes to be a poet, not just the creative element of writing.
"i live, i write
thus i exist." my fav lines!
