I am

~poetry~


a polished sublime rhyme
that costs you nothing

but a moment in time

slip me into your palm

feel my caress

taste the sound of me
and know

that what is real
costs less
than those other shiny silver baubles
you reel in at day's end
when you have finished fishing

for life's biggest prize

“Poetry is essentially  the soul’s search
for its release in language.”

Joseph Brodsky

Anything else is pastime and personal
seeking to impress a perspective mate.

And life's greatest prize is friendship.

I hope I'll always have yours, Kacy.

My thoughts precisely, Kacy.

Some people are so busy looking for life that they miss it entirely.
