ASPIRING
the way
she wrote
that
said that
stacked
words
like steps
to some
secret truth
and, goddamn,
it's just
a phrase,
just one word
pushed against another
but
good god
how it
resonates,
how it
serenades
and soothes
the soul
and
rankles
the mind
and how
i want
to hold that,
be that,
somehow live that
life of word
on word
on word
in my small
and fumbling
way
amen

Just wanted you to know that I voted for this poem in that passion for poetry contest. Send me info as to where I can purchase your work.

Thank you for that vote.
For better or worse, most of my poetic efforts are right here, and in a smattering of online and print magazines published over the years -- probably obsolete and out of print. Mostly short stories. Here is one I kind of like.

Dear J,
And so you do! Live this “life of word
on word
on word
in my small
and fumbling
way
amen”
It was wonderful reading this and bring inspired via your inspiration. Infectious (but in the good way 😉) to write more, speak less and love tons. Great write. H🌷
