A Poem About Poetry

At least that's the assignment 
although after several hours all I have 
is oodles of doodles
on the pages of my journal 
and not much else;
a word here a fragment there ~
peach/blossom/cherry/plum
each/some/barely/none
fascinate/fabricate
communicate ~
but let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth
for his love is sweeter than wild berries filled with the sun,
and suddenly I realize I know less about you
than I do this poem!

Last year I had about 80 pages of unfinished poems, rhymes, definitions, and miscellaneous thoughts for future poems. I thought I needed to stop starting, and start finishing. I cut those pages down to 88 this year. Love this poem Chetta! cheers! :)
