But Be

By merb010

“A poem

should not

mean

But be.”

― Archibald MacLeish,

Collected Poems, 1917-1982

Elfje: (Cinquain)

exist

must be

visable or tangible

not in the imagination

consist

Haiku:

happy larks warble

no concern for life or death

God is positive

Poem:

why me
am I am who I am
do I need a church key
does anyone give a damn

what does it mean to be free
will there be a final exam
is it more than the bird and the bee
was this world just a sham

can I just cop a plea
can I be as happy as a clam
scoring points on bended knee
why doesn’t everyone have to get with the plan

is there a God to play emcee
can my ego handle a grand slam
what really is my cup of tea
must I follow the flow diagram

too many questions,
never an answer
why not me
I’m just glad that I am

ME and the Boss
