How Many Is Too Many
I think I’ll post ten poems and then
tomorrow I’ll do it again
by end of month it’ll be three hundred
poetic spaces I’d have plundered
by years end
it’ll be nifty
to have posted
three thousand six hundred and fifty
maybe I’ll take a walk in the forest
start a campfire with my thesaurus
let the rhythm of nature seep into my pen
write of the moment not why, where, or when
hope that the butterfly
high in the tree
tempts every known fate
alights close to me
permits me a moment
together…just us
wings and a pen
sharing a trust
