Writing Poetry

Every word of a poem

Should be chosen with care

To fit with the others

And

Lines of a poem

Should flow like clean water

Off a happy baby’s head

Rhyme if you want to

Don’t if you want, too

Phrase for power

And meaning

Of the joy of life

Or its suffering

Avoid the passé

Like “letting nature take its course”

In fact

Poetry is writing

With the cliché’s edited out

Make it popppp

Sizzzzzzle

Hummmm

But

Never settle for

Easy insight

Light catchings

Instead…

Pierce the reader’s heart

And the bubble

You woke up in

This morning

The Marriage

The woods I'm in are serene

Patient 

Calm

Time is one of the family

Not a boss

Not chopped into units

Light comes and goes

Species find their place

The ground and sky

Are wed 

And life is present

The groom is handsome 

The bride beautiful

And I am a witness
