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
