Poetry isn't a task, a chore, or project.
It's a joyful moment,
An ephemeral process of
Reaching up into the ethers
And grasping whatever is there.
Looking at it,
Witnessing it,
Having a conversation with it.
Poems are like birds,
Each with its own flight,
Nest and favorite tree.
Each with its own version of song.
Birds occasionally flock together
On the lawn to gather food
Or fly away for
The winter.
Do poems?
