My Poetry Is a Brook Not a Grand River

My poems,
    they are not  rivers
    flowing
    Do not overflow
    in long verses
    and wild poems ...
    Are smaller than
    streams that come together
    to swim to the Poetic Sea ...
    My poetry is minimal
    as a brook with ripples  that
    does not flood literature,
    but also arrives
    to the lyrical ocean ...!
