John Lawless Poet Rhyme

the poem I writ

The poem I writ
Just didn’t fit
I wondered what
To do with it
I folded it
With creases tight
Launched it high
Gave it flight
It circled high
Into the sun
I wept, crying
What have I done
And yet I think
I set it free
By separating it
From me

Ink Empress April 15, 2025 at 7:14 AM I love the cadence and flow of your word weaving here dear john, so well written with such catchy rhymes! Like a lil chorus, that should be sung! Pleasure reading you! Sending you light always

Kim Rodrigues April 15, 2025 at 7:10 AM I know what you mean! Sometimes we have to let it go, though we wanted to save its lines…it just wasn’t the one. I wonder how many paper planes are in flight… hugs!
