Am Poetry Genetics


At post teenage 
some day at tea a committee
my mates same age
while seated a round wooden chair
legs crossed, sipping coffee
did asked me

why do you speak in proverbs
poetry they mean to say.
I air to them in strong verb
living poetry is great pay

In poetic pen
pour my tears
my write for men
in verse

on the tables of my mind
is engraved poetic rhymes
poetry is fertility to my kind
like fertilizer the farm
I smile and chime

On the day of my birth
to this world I ushered
I vest in shirt
to enter

POETRY was there 
to curdle me with care
SHE smeared me with her 
poetic cream on my curly hairs

and as a toddler
when I blink
am full of laughter
with my poetic winkle

my poetic milk teeth you did see
as an infant
you did gaze at me
poetic baby you did me call at instant

Am Poem grown now!
Stamp my attitudes on my write
customize my plight
to copyright

My lyrics in verse
of my tears
It sheds

Prose penned
my mind
in kind

Poems
to tend
my dines

I feed
I live
believe
to succeed

I hunger in poetics
I so eat poetry
I thirsts in poetics
so I drink poetry

I air in poetics
so I breath poetry
I feel bored without poetics
I love cling poetry

I dream poetics
so I live poetry
I sing poetics
I speak poetry

I sleep poetics
I sit poetically
smile poetics
chime poetically

walk poetically
laughter in poetics
work poetically
after all in poetics

am a Poet
with
a bleeding 
pen.

You are of poetry, Gideon, it's as natural to you as breathing and as rhythmic as your beating heart. Your blood and tears, your laughter and dreams are wondrous poetry and your artistic, expressive pen illustrates your passion in the flow of your golden ink. A rich and beautiful baring of your being. Great title too. Congratulation on your wonderful placement in John's contest. Warmest wishes always.. ~Susan
