The Passage of Poetry

The Passage of Poetry

The passage of poetry is hard to find

Do not disturb

As I write a line

Sometimes, it’s hard to find the time

Effort and thought

Heat and steam

As I find it hard to find the poetic dream

So please do not disturb

For a poet is thinking really hard

Trying to find the passage of poetry

As I write a line

Written in black ink

Poetry is so crisp when you don’t have to think

Please do not disturb

For a poet is busy writing her words

That will one day be read

In the passage of poetry

That everyone will hear

Written in black ink

Without time to think

A little poetic hint

I won’t disturb you

As you think about this poetic ink

Written in black ink

Please do not disturb

The passage of poetry now lives there
