How Do I

How do I To breathe? To see the shooting stars? To eat the pineapple On my pizza? How do I To write to mom, To sleep In Chicago? To drive a Ferrari? How do I To love Montaigne? How about scallops? To travel to Sicily? How do I Without you, huh? To think? To believe in tomorrow? To make my poem heard Beyond the mountains, huh? How do I Without you To write my poem?

Yann, you do all those things because you have too, some things we do automatically like breathing. The good thing about writing poetry is that there are poets all over the earth eager to read every verse… Belle

A great emotive poem Yann full of thoughtful questions - how do I ? We have all asked such questions in life at one time or another. Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you.

A quandary, an inquisitive mind and a poet. This simply written poem is complex and intriguing Yann. Well done. I love clever emotive simplicity in a poem.
