A poem can be left adrift
a deserted, floating wreck
Words wash over rails
on board, a slippery deck
Every poem I've ever written
helps me write the next
A gaggle of "lilliputian critics"
ensure I craft my text
True, I do the proofing
readers do the check

Rhyme
When an uptick in violet crimes
Made the front page of the New York Times,
Seems the cause of the botch
Was the proof of the scotch;
Now the checker hawks greeting card rhymes.

EACH EDGE
CURVED
BEYOND IT'S
END
EACH CORNER WAS DEFINED
BY THE SMOOTH, SOOTHING
EDGE WHICH DECERATED
THE EDGE
IT'S FINALLITYWAS
APPROACHED BY THE
LINES OF THE CREATURES
CHOSE OF NEW BEGANNINGS
ECHTINGS
AND MARVELOUS SIGNUTURES
WORDS FOR THOSE WHO
LOVED BEAUTITY TO ADMIRE
LIFE BEYOND THE NEWNESS
CAUSED THE CREATER TO MAKE SIMPLE
THE SURFACE TO BE CLEANED

I hate the business of writing
the commerce of word craft
the tedium of publishing
the deadlines imposed
I hate the word count
the editing and proofing
the book signing travel
and agents exposed
I hate the promotion
each workshop and fair
the reviews and the podcasts
the bookstores that sell
But I love the writing
when the words come together
releasing my spirit
—my fortune to tell

Rhyme
No No; that's my name
Name I was given
Given when I started crawling
Crawling and exploring my world
World that I couldn't touch until I was able to crawl
Crawl where my curiosity would take
Take me into a world of excitement
Excitement of a few bumps and bruises
Bruises mommy didn't want to see for my future
Future... mommy baby proofing our home
Our home that my grandma calls me Sweetheart
