It's a medium
A written window
To the soul?
Or a jumble of words
A fantasy of authorship
A cry for fame
For the delusional
The failed writer
Poetry - it's like sarcasm...
An escape for those of feeble mind
Perhaps 'the lowest form of wit'
Or just maybe it's words from beyond
A spiritual tour of the subconscious
An open doorway to what lies beneath
A chance to overtly express
An opportunity to speak outside of the norm
Poetry demands patience
From the writer
From the reader...
A poem isn't the product of a day
There is a lifetime
Written in a few sentences
The poem asks us to answer a question
Of ourselves...
Who can fathom that lifetime
Within those few short words
And even fewer minutes..?
Read and try to follow
That which is unfathomable...
Thank you – I think you will understand how much your comment means to me – thank you again 🙂
Very well said, Martin, in beautiful terms. Your poetry has been very meaningful and I’ve appreciated your dedication. I love poetry; less is always more, in my estimation.

Thanks Debra 🙂 I knew I wouldn’t be able to find words every day for the month so easing back and just writing when the words come is probably best.
I also enjoyed this, Martin. Thank you.
Thank you Philip 🙂
