Ah, the Poem


For those of us who do,


there is a quiet


yet profound joy


in typing a poem.


But what’s more,


the sudden revelation and


lightning inspiration


when words flow


like honey from the brain.


And what’s even more


is the curious notion


which arrives just in time.


From where in hell


or heaven and earth


did that come?


Ah, the poem—


when it arrives


what a pleasant


and fulfilling


surprise...


Again and again,


it’s like trying


life on for size.
