The Spark

Seeing beauty in the minute, therefore I am a poet An empty bench in a garden sparks lines for folk poet Dew on the roses or even rain drops those little sparks In my yard, where birds feed even those noisy Larks An empty bench in a garden sparks lines for folk poet A slight flaw in speech as 'Have you two, done et'' In my yard, where birds feed even those noisy Larks Beauty or humor can be turned into a poem part A slight flaw in speech as "Have you two, done et'' Dew on the roses or even rain drops those little sparks Beauty or humor can be turned into a poem part Seeing beauty in the minute, therefore I.. even I am a poet (I am passing this on to Doris Culverhouse and doing something different passing to Steven Mossburg also.)

Doris got the message apparently Smile, from her comment. This Pantoum is a new form for me. But I love your poem. Seeing beauty in the minute is a special talent of the poet. One that I have noticed in your poems Sara. Keep on trucking Sis. Agape, Moses

Humor can make poetry rock, Sara, and this is the best "I am a poet" tag I've read. Awesome! Love, Carolyn

Wonderful poem...it is very beautiful. The flow was so good that I had to go back and check for the repeated lines. It fit so well that the repetition was unnoticeable...perfection, Sara. Smiles, Dane Ann (I haven't tried possum either...but it makes a fun write.)
