Analysis of Tribute to Wallace
Poet's Pain
There are other places
that a poet might go
where is it
I do not know.
Is there a poet heaven
here on earth
could it be hidden
awaiting a birth.
The words of men
can be terse in write
hurting deep
on my mind and sight.
I do not no
where truths lie
I just sit and wonder
why.
