A Poem by Walt Page: The Tennessee Poet
That’s how they begin
My poems
When it happens
The words pour out of my pen
Thoughts from my soul
Creating words from my heart
Inspired by love
Inspired by pain
The blood in my veins
Becomes the ink in my pen
And the blank white page
Becomes poetic art
Once again
