What Makes a Poem A Poem?
Dear Kindred Writer
Perfection means there's nowhere else to go,
And if you think you've reached its lofty ranks
You'll need to daily prove as time will show.
Within our minds we hear a different song,
I'll want to dance a heady waltz with you
And twirl you off the page we stand upon.
Embrace a spell or faith, destroy a curse;
A poet writes to die and live again,
This process brought about within a verse.
It all depends on how you will express,
To be an Epoch tale or Senryu;
Be sure to use the form that says it best.
This humble sage to share my kindred side,
With thanks I here conclude in cordial bow
Your pen's salute & love with ink supply xo

the delivery
a poem
is but a bunch
of words hangin' out
that's what is
obviously observed
them hangin out
said emily*
is democratic
what ever it is
it is
the sum of their whole
rather than
the hole of their sum
is what actually
makes that bunch
a poem
what they deliver
how they deliver
matters
but not that much
that
it delivers
those emotions
those effects
those personal effects
we all carry
in the pockets
called
our hearts
after all
poetry is
but stains on paper
and
on some
heart
is but a bunch
of words hangin' out
that's what is
obviously observed
them hangin out
