HER


Poetic words that roll off the tongue 
                     that is what she was all about
Every early morning before the crack of dawn, 
her soft boiled mind searched, 
filling in ideas 
filling in,   
THE POEM 
                   that would flower in the light of day;
She swam in the silence of her bedroom 
                         searching for words that would light 
the emptiness she felt inside. 
filling it she felt 
filling it she knew 
that writing poetry was the only thing to do,  
                       when her soul went, all askew...
