Writing Poetry

DSCF2481

How do I push through
to the other side
where poetry lives?

Three cups of coffee
a cool breeze
a dream poem born.

Or sitting in the trenches
that is my office
I write through all the garbage
write until I break through
to the other side.

Why do people love poems about frogs?

Their bright green bodies intriguing?
Their capacity to spring?

Sprung,
they fly through the air
uninhibited.

They are the acrobats
of the forest.
And their soft songs
lull us
to sleep.
