Poetry Farming
To sow a poem
Pick your choice of seed or thread
Cotton cloth or fertile soil bed
Don't forget to hem
The last line with style, a good end
Is like a port of arrival when
The voyage through water, and wind
Setlle into words without the din.
To sow a poem
String the needle with thoughts, let
Words pass the eye like a stem
Finding a fresh crack, a chord or fret
I drain the ditch around the heart
One emotion at a time, I chip apart
What scale the eyes until I see
The image formed, the growing tree.
To sow a poem
String the needle with seeds of words
Cut hard your gem
Let the sparkle fly like singing birds
From the nest of the heart
The image must stand and play its part
Every poem is a laden tree
Every lover like a prolific bee.
