Winds whip and whistle
past bark of branches bare
collar-cringing cold
winter's whipsaw wares
Frozen faces, fingers
tingling, trembling toes
shivers, shakes, sunken eyes
signal endless woes
A-howling and a-knocking
the nasty night unnerves
the gentle dreams of lovers
nestled in their curves
Kai put the koi on first
Their bags were the heaviest
With all the water weight
Next he attached his bags of goldfish
Luckily, he lived in a town where people understood
His need to sell, and the need for the fish to survive
Kai pedaled his bike to the market
Hoping not to encounter practical jokers or thieves
Poetry is thought distilled;
You squeeze it and condense it.
When intent has been fulfilled,
You’re ready to dispense it.
Many poems don’t get that far;
They stick with their creator,
Unreleased into the world
Or maybe saved for later.
Those that make it take a chance
That after they’re inspected,
They will be forgotten fast
Or, even worse, rejected.
Poets choose their words with care
And offer up their wares
In hopes that somewhere in their realm,
There’s somebody who cares.
