A Special Kind

The poets come and go,
their life being a mess -
they openly say 'No'
when others shout 'Yes'.

They can't by definition
be either mean or tame;
they have an earthly mission -
the sense of guilt and shame.

And all of them have also
much more to leave behind:
a comprehensive soul,
a universal mind.

Above all, they are human,
their weapon is the pen -
a special kind of woman,
a special kind of man.

My mother has definately lead her life in an unruly fashion, and apparently that applies to many poets :) ... You have very good command of the English language, good job...
