“Every word
was once
a poem.”

Every
Thought was
Once a poem
Before there were words
Written

Haiku:
.
sensual overload
nature explodes in the spring
words fail to describe
.
Poem:
.
love, life, history, mystery
poetic themes that include adultery
written to pique the imagination
another vague form of communication
happy to expand the vocabulary
singing like the proverbial canary
to some the words create the music
others hear only the elevator musak
few are those who hear the Universe in silence
most serious concerns for their mental imbalance
today we will let the word choose the poem
sound or meaning, exuberant or solemn
always the poem that never ends
lame excuses and false amends
form, meter, rhyme the words intend
doesn’t every poet just pretend.
