Analysis of View of a Poet

JESUS BETANCOURT 1955 (New York)



Everyone wants to know what is different
From an ordinary person and a poet
The difference is dependent
On the way words are used to explain it

Plain folk talk straight all the time
A poet will elucidate in verses
Usually ending in ryhme
No one else takes the time to impress us
