Where Poetry Comes From
Slight twitching of the toes
A shudder of the shins
The knocking of the knees
Is where it all begins
Vibration of the thighs
Through years of cellulite
Swinging of the hips
As it makes its little trip
Grumbling of the belly
Way deep down inside
Till it moves up to the chest
To the thump of the heart's delight
Shoots straight to the brain
Where it bounces back and forth
Throughout the cracks and crevices
Till it feels its run its course
Drops down to a lump in the throat
Giving way to speech
Spilling forth for all it's worth
In waves of poetry
