The definition of poet
Is one who lifts pen up
To write words down
Others, to pick up,
Then lay them down,
Comforted.

To do so correctly,
We begin with a single word,
A single question,

Why?

The answer of course obvious,
A single word, for are we not all,

Unfinished.
Dedicated to and inspired by Kelly Rose, another asker of questions, in the quest for completion.
