Poetry That Belongs Only To Poets

POETRY THAT BELONGS ONLY TO POETS

Poetry that belongs only to other poets
Is not the highest poetry-
The highest poetry speaks to all
Who can hear and read it-

Let the specialists play their formal tricks for educated sophistry
The poets who speak to us
Are heard in the most simple heart.
