Poem Sketch


Poet / pour / courage / page
Poet,
Pour out your words
Of courage
Of beauty
Of truth
Of pain
Of life
As you live it
Touching delicate petals
Inhaling honeysuckle-scented air
Covering your ears from siren screams
Chewing on celery with a dollop of creamy peanut butter
Watching a bee fly drunk on nectar
Onto the page.
