it feels like dead to do poems like this

a new medium,
like screaming into the wind.
no one can hear you then.

usually, i scribble on paper and hide it.
and the ones i show it to
don't see me watching,
every little movement they make.

if you watch the eyes,
you can count the lines as they read them.
and you should know where they pause,
it's your poem.

if you watch the breaths,
it's syllables.

it's good when the pace changes.

breathless?
not what i was going for,
but then,

the real poetry is in the interpretation,
right?

right ... but feels like dead?
You seem more than alive to me ... as does your work

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. Philip Sidney (1554-1586) Loving in Truth

Isnt it funny how two people can read the same words so differently?
