Sandra Haight Poet Limerick

Shepherds of Words

The poet enjoys driving words...
like shepherds move sheep in their herds.
Directs here or there,
but always with flair,
rounds up with long chases, then girds,

those words that are well-chosen ones.
With pen, like a staff, commissions
the best of the best
to pass judgment test...
and turn out a poem that stuns.
