Notes About The Poem

4/1/2026 for 1459 New Poem Poetry Contest sponsored by Brian Strand

A Matter of Perspective

In the field I'm looking at, 
I don't see a thing that's flat.
I guess I need perspective
so that I can be effective
in rendering on paper,
lines that gently taper
as I move my eyes on - 
ever toward the horizon. 
I can put a mouse up front,
bigger than an elephant.
