Poems

Elaine Feinstein
She tells me not to talk about my life
true poets write of other things, she says
then reads a poem about her marriage, husband
I'm reminded of Sylvia Plath's struggles
how she would not have followed such advice
or else not become the icon that she is
besides, as Langston Hughes said
' No great poet should ever be afraid of being himself'
or something like ( replace that with 'herself')
& does not a life contain universal topics
that ties us all together in one universe
so all I say is write, write what you know
Elaine Feinstein is a prominent British poet currently writing today.
