Metric Scissors In the Storm---My Passion

My Passion- - - 
- - -
Poetry...
of
in
on
all I know to be

metric units
flowing smooth 
solid
liquid
breathing
seeing 

uniting 
divided 
by everything
multiplied 
infinitely progressive
impressive digression 
aggressive
damned and doomed

hard to read 
hard to live
poetry...
known to grow
shown the need 
the seeds to sow

a reach
a stretch
an eek
a reeking peek 
at those who seek
to spread their wings
or shed the things 
that keep them weak...
or possibly
a teeny wink of a peek
of the week
from a meek geek who thinks 
he or she's work week stinks

whatever the lesson
or message of expression
if truth 
if raw feeling 
is stacked to the ceiling
in the poetry their dealing

well....
then 
and purely then
only then
poet trees
real
awe-inspiring 
gravity defying

pinky swear 
no lying
poetry exists
poets live there
forever!
