Chuck Mistretta's Poetry Page

Philosophers Are

Children telling truths. 
Adults finding persecution. 
Are of little faith, but chosen.

What It Is

If wisdom is 
having outlived 
our mistakes. 
Then intelligence is 
the capacity 
to make them.

Poet

Want to be a poet?

                                                                     Let people dance 
                                                                     on your heart.

 Contra Diction

A man without soul

Loves not his woman.

A woman without love

Has not her man.

He who is a child

Is neither, but has both.
