A Poem is for the Maker
This poem is for me no
It’s for you
Sometimes we both enjoy the poem
Understand its purpose and life
If I write this for
the purveyors of poetic value
I will have to
stretch my efforts
to replace internal intuition
with a form, respectful
a tone, true-blue
word choice, complex
All these right efforts are printable
A poem is made for the maker.
An expressive need to tell
the moment
the experience
the failure
the heroic
the observation
