Nobody knows the difficult life of a poet. Undercover, Aiyeko-ooto exhumes bodies of departed bards. The sum in quote:
“I’ve built you a vessel, of papyrus stalk; rendered fit,
To float, to the other side, where you’ll reign,
Weaved, covered, and flagged; to be discovered by royals,
Only if you’ll cry for loving attention and care”
Greatness deferred to the other side? AiyeKo-ooto distills 50 poems, joys, cries and anxieties, dripping off; quill of writers. Who must sing like musician, paint as artist and think like a philosopher, to be recognized in trade.
Poets live 5 lives: First- Intrigues like yesterday, form a starting point; which do not last.
Second -searching for lost muses, they just keep disappearing on you, why?
Third -chasing beautiful myth, if I can write just a great poem, all will be well.
Fourth - believing the winds that blow -love ones flatter; no matter what, publishers don’t.
Last -in the Ark, cry for attention -before you reach river bottom, where no one can save you.
