Poets Float

Blessed with cerebral riches
Drowned as witches
But poets float

Words like petals floating on the breeze
So uncontrolled
They taunt and tease
The status quo

Float like butterflies
Sting like bees
A poet can't be bought or sold

Never given thanks
Made to walk gangplanks
But poets float

The poet's sensitivity
floats on to infinity
original thoughts
create the future and eternity

Your words
Like a saviour boat
On raging seas
In a storm
I feel reborn
For poets float
Happy birthday Heathcote
