A poet is just a maker of connections.

You can’t think without connecting concepts,

Or speak without synergising sounds,

You cannot write without linking letters, verbs, adjectives and nouns.

To perform requires an audience,

Reflections are simply waves in thought or light.

You can only describe any one thing based on sensory references coloured by personal insight.

So construct carefully your concepts,

Synergise your sounds with style,

Yet be aware even as we do this, we are but complex dot joiners, with a passion to compile.
