  • You Cannot Break a Poet's Heart

    A poet cannot be broken-heartedWhen a dear one dies, she writes a requiemWhen a lover is untrue, she writes a sonnetWhen the world is cruel, she writes satiric verse

    A poet can take all the grief from her heart(the pain that can swell and break a heart)and write it in fine black lines on starchy white paper

    Oh, no, you cannot break a poet’s heart.

    The above poem is one of the first serious poems that 16-year-old Lois wrote many, many years ago.

    Excerpted from Beloved by Lois Tschetter Hjelmstad.
