Ode to Poetry

To those thirsty for poetry, here's an alleviation:

"...

The general belief is that readers are stupid. 

A reader is especially attentive. A writer does not write for the stupid. A writer only writes for her/ his equals.

..."


Nichita Stănescu was a Romanian poet. On March 31st 2021, he would have turned 88. For those of you curious about his work, you can find here some of his poems translated into English. 'A Poem' is one of my dearest poems by Nichita Stănescu.
