There is much that will pass for poetry, Rhyme and rhythm are what it means to me However, I'll use other forms as well And hope to do it so that you can tell That I have done it most artfully
This is a page for new work of mine, so that I have some copyright protection before I share any of them elsewhere... So far, "Prose Poem" is the first and I'll probably be adding some more as time goes on.

PROSE POEM
Ideas come and go, Slipping through my grasp, They dance heel and toe, Elusive as an asp.
Sometimes they'll come again So I have one more chance To hold tightly to them As through my mind they dance.
Poetry's like breathing, Because you're grasping air, Entering and leaving, To find there's nothing there.
Poems become prosaic And it's truly tragic When a poem's mosaic Has to lose its' magic...

i
have a job
where
i can stand,
hands
in pockets,
relaxed, g me and the eagle as a n that i watch, tropical i to hover breeze t above stirs f the horizon, my hair i together, in January, l merging,
in my mind's eye,
to watch
the landscape
below
for rabbits
and poets
