“I do believe
in poetry.
I believe that
there are creatures
endowed with the power
to put things together
and bring them back
to life”

Elfje: (Cinquain)

words
are things
when put together
they may mean something
communicate

Haiku:
.
rain rain go away
come again another day
does the rain listen

Poem:
.
who would have thunk
never worried about consequences
just drank until drunk
no common or any other senses
instant gratification was the only goal
selfish, self-centered, me, me, me
a sick body and mind with no soul
no clue of what it meant to be free
the story begins with what happened
there are no accidental coincidences
miracles beyond what could be imagined
just another of God’s many incidences
a fellowship of sots led the way
steps to rise from the depths of misery
only a Higher Powers will to obey
a simple path exposed by inquiry
the story continues with what it’s like now
a life that’s lived beyond one’s wildest dreams
using daily reminders of it works HOW
easily worth striving for . . . by all means
