Poets' Lunch

The others gather in the kitchen
between verses

The cabin in the nature center
shuns city life.

A hummingbird hovers at the window
fluttering my imagination.

I keep secret our conversation
while others make lunch.

I turn to nature, my muse,
when shaping poems.

poetry is inspiration. Sometimes it eludes me. Then I start to write and in five minutes it's ready. So I agree. poetry is lunch.
