Craig Anderson - Calling all Poets

Are all Poets lonely people
Or do lonely people become Poets
I've said it before we hide behinds keyboards
But who do we protect the poet or the lonely person.

We see an event a tragedy but see it deeper
Feel it deeper even though we are not connected
We are spiritually connected to events
Sometimes stronger than other things.

A ship that sinks might not pique our poetic mind
But miners in Italy trapped
In the blackness of the earth awaiting they know no what
Stirs our imagination to the nth degree.

This was just going to be an interesting four liner
For entertainment but is slowly becoming a sonnet
I just wonder how many of us Poets agree with the sentiment
Or do others approach it from a different angle to be on it.
