Poetry

i like when
poetry is easy
to curl up in
comfortable 
familiar
with words that say
just enough
and yet so much more

i like when
poetry is easy
to consume
with tasty words to
roll around my mouth
chunky chewy alliteration
smooth syllables
and silky imagery
that saturates my brain

i like when
poetry is easy
to get lost in
with scenery to
sink in to
and words that
almost escape
from my grasp

Robin, I love how you formed your poem and the scenery you gave me of how poetry is your escape.
