knowing other poets
like sighthounds
are to other dogs—
wholly different,
aware, intuitive
so poets are
to other people
noticing detail
hearts more attuned,
deep radar for awe
may blessings pour upon you,
oh poets who have felled
me to my knees
knowing other poets
Didi, I love this comparison. Sighthounds to other dogs—and poets to other people. ❤️ Perhaps poets simply have a different kind of radar, picking up details that the rest of us walk past without noticing. And sometimes one poet's way of seeing wakes something in another. Thank you, Didi.
This is so lovely, Amrita...
Poetry is its own kind of sight, of things most people disregard, and of all the strange associations of existence.
Best Wishes - Dave :)
