Listen to poem:

All Poems Not Created Equal

in the bouquet of my muse’s garden
all poems are not created equal

some are written with broad panoramic strokes
others unveil inner secrets their bitter tears

some poems barely skim the ripples on the surface
while others dig down spiraling depths of darkness

some effervesce with ritzy champagne bubbles
others resemble remnants swept off a saloon floor

from prized rare roses to common milkweed
all my poetic inklings are not created equal
