Partial eclipse
In the depths of a poet's mind, a mystery untold
Where emotions dance and stories unfold
Words woven in intricate design
A glimpse of truth, a glimpse of divine
No one knows the poets' hearts
The silent struggles, the hidden parts
Their verses like a partial eclipse
Revealing only glimpses, subtle hints
Misunderstood, their intentions lost
In the sea of readers' thoughts
For those who read with open eyes
Can see the truth, can hear their cries
No one knows the true meaning
Behind each line, each word, each feeling
A second read, a fourth, maybe more
To grasp the essence, to explore
In the realm of free verse style
Lies the poet's heart, mile by mile
Read between the lines, dig deep
And you'll find the secrets they keep
No one knows the poets' minds
Except for those who seek and find
The hidden gems, the truths untold
In the free verse, in the stories bold.
Explanation of the above poem
The depths of a poet's mind are truly an ethereal realm, where emotions flow like a river, weaving intricate patterns and creating vivid landscapes of thought. It is a place of both solace and turmoil, where the poet's heart beats in unison with the rhythm of their words. Each line, each stanza, each poem is a window into their soul, offering a glimpse of their innermost feelings and experiences.
As a reader, I am drawn into this mysterious world, captivated by the beauty and honesty of the words. I am struck by the knowledge that each poet has bravely exposed a piece of themselves, sharing their joys, their sorrows, their hopes and their fears. Their verses are like fragments of a puzzle, revealing only bits and pieces of the complex tapestry of their being.
Yet, despite this, their intentions are not lost on me. I feel a deep connection to these poets, as if they are speaking directly to my heart. Their words resonate with my own emotions and experiences, making me feel less alone in the world. In reading their works, I am reminded that everyone carries their own burdens, their own stories, and that through the sharing of these stories, we can find a common bond, a sense of understanding and empathy.
No, no one truly knows the true meaning behind each line, each word, each feeling that goes into a poem. But that is the beauty of it. Poetry is subjective, interpretive, and ever-changing. It is a living, breathing thing that grows and evolves with each new reader, each new perspective. And it is through this process of exploration and discovery that we come to understand not only the poets, but ourselves as well.
So I say to you, reader, delve deep into the world of modern verse style. Embrace the mystery and the beauty of the poets' minds. Take your time, read between the lines, and allow their words to wash over you like a wave. For it is in doing so that you will find the secrets they keep, the truths they yearn to share, and the pieces of yourself that you never knew were missing.

Keith: The intentions behind verses are different from what's comprehended.
A mystery none can actually solve.
Thank you.
Graham: i totally agree with you. Even a poet doesn't know the beginning nor the end of what the poet writes. Most of it is inspired.
Thank you.
