Poet in Search

By Duane L. Herrmann

A title:
when it comes  
the poem will come too.  
Where does he look?  
Inside?  
Outside?  
All the world around?  
Searching  
for a title,  
for a theme.  
Desire is present  
but no direction.  
A poet in search of a title  
is a sad, pathetic thing. 
Does he search  
through ancient tomes?  
Or current fads?  
Or some time in between?
