Haphazardly Poetic
If you're a judge in a poetry contest
elimination,
look again and again before you jump
into a conclusion;
Printed words may look like black ants
in batallion formation
or squads of stragglers crawling out
with uncertain direction;
Oftentimes they're chunks, slices and splinters
of random thoughts
haphazardly strewn on the pages like black,
burnt wings of moths;
They may not have creative sparks, rhythmic pace
or inspiration,
but behind haphazardness itself may be
imagination.
