What have you been doing for long?
Ploughing.
A poet and ploughing?
Yea, but not farmland.
Then?
Language.
Why?
To plant seeds
To grow new word forms
With newer meanings.
But, does not it come thru inspiration?
It does, but not in my hand,
It being a rainbow bend,
So, pouring I’m my perspiration.

Ploughing
I have been ploughing
The field of nothingness
A furrow at a time,
With an elderly mule that farts a lot.
The soil is unyielding
It is cabbage and carrots
I want
You can`t eat flowers.
I have the carcass
Of a goat
But needs vegs
To go with it
All I need is for you
To see
I can cook a good meal of words
So far I have two
Who are willing?
To partaking
But my table has a place
For twelve
So I will wait
Till I find
Someone who likes
Cabbage
And never mind
The flowers
