Writing Poems Like Portraits

Sometimes, I write poems like Drawing a portrait... Give it a loose framework, Then fill it out, starting From the heart- I always shade in the eyes first Because they give the paper A soul- Always write down the First words That come to Mind because I'm trying to Give the paper My soul- Sometimes, I write poems all at once, Like a single stroke of color- Sometimes, I don't write them at all... I just whisper them to the air; Let them evaporate Like warm Raindrops.
