Life Or Poetry

I was never born a poet
But a pauper standing on a pulpit
Penning words in spring tide dings
Ritzy scribbling like trundling rings

Talons of my feet
Seething grounds I scratch and leet
Feathers I preen and wag
Over my scruff I rip and gag

On rivers and wells I soak and dip
Shimming on reflections I gobble or sip
Over hills and cliffs I hover  and skip
Your face I slip over my lip


"Poetry brought life to a dreamer as a penner
  But why is life more important than poetry as a winner?"


(Prosebite)
