Daily Poem

Today I wrote a poem about writing a poem!

Writing a poem

Finally

Alone with my words

I choose them and coax them

And ask them where they would like to lay

I think aloud

Then on paper

I have imaginary talks with friends I haven’t seen

And those I’ve never known

The cat walks by

The words disappear

I re-emerge somewhere in the poem

It finds me

Or sometimes it doesn’t

Sometimes it is only me

And my wishes to create something beautiful

Which never appears

and even when words don’t come

and poems are forced

a small creak

can be heard

from the inside

I like who I am

When I am writing

A poem.
