The Velum of Clouds

For all the planning
and learned preparation
poetry remains part
mystery

a write only dimly solvable

a poet wisely advised to
proudly accept 
all credits, while adhering failures 
to sacrificial muses, 

the lambs should 
be accustomed by now
to writers’ confiscations
and slanders

our best definition:
poetry~ likened to love -- 

fond works

pinned to the heart 

stapled to the velum 

of high flying clouds~

hopefully

ascending

for safe keeping

and reunion
