i haven't included any poems here. however, poetry is summoning again because i've been neglectful. again. this month is national poetry month, so why not include one now? it's a little one i wrote in response to someone else's prodding. (thanks, l.l. and RAP!) i think i need to set up another blog for this kind of thing. that, or change "ours" a bit. so far it's only seen entries from me and doesn't have the exact shape i imagined. hmm.
join me. inhale and exhale some more sweet lines this month.
because it's april
why write a poem
words to share
to dare spill what's within
like the clutter on the desk
seem unrelated worthless
yet have their place
tape measure, hole puncher, dollar bill
and the camera's back is turned
as if to say
none of you matter

Yes, I will link.
Loved this simple poem. Especially the part about the tape measure, etc. :)
The camera's back is turned - I saw the snooty look in his eye. :)
Poetry does excavate our insides, huh?
