Poetry Thursday - A poem to a poet

This week's Poetry Thursday challenge - to write a poem for a poet - was particularly challenging for me, for reasons I wrote about in this post. I have to confess it; at this point in my life I couldn't begin to pick out a poet for whom I'd write a poem. I'm still too far away from poetry. Rather an embarrassing admission to make in a Poetry Thursday post, but there it is.

But I do have a question for the author of this couplet, for I have always wondered:

So did the wind come heed your call
and send the blessed rain?
And did your love throw wide her arms
to draw you in again?
