Here I’ll write a nice poem
a sweet poem
a gentle poem.
Here I’ll write a subtle poem
a quite poem
a funny poem.
Here I’ll write a love poem
a trust poem
a now poem
Here I’ll write a safe poem
a kind poem
a faith poem.
But there,
There I’ll write a hard poem
a sharp poem
a spinning poem.
There I’ll write a challenging poem
a forceful poem
an inflammatory poem.
There I’ll write a true poem
a so poem
a go poem.
Here and there
a growth poem
a sustenance poem
our lives poem.

When I write for the blog, I have a slightly different style than when I’m submitting to literary journals. Tongue in cheek, I reflect the tone of their journal. Style is a malleable thing. Message is what’s important. Here, I don’t take myself very seriously, but there literary style requires more gravity. The pathos amuses me.
I like this poem 🙂
Thanks, Cheryl-Lynn.
You know how it is. Journals don’t want anything that’s been published before, and a blog counts as published, so I write entirely different stuff for them, though generally using similar themes.
Yep, many do not want us to write “outside the lines”. I love everything you write…poetry, books 🙂 Your students are so lucky!
Thank you, that’s kind of you to say.
Above all, a heart poem.
🙂
Love the rhythm and repetition! Different.:-)
Thanks, Zina.
